You read it right, from Monday at 6pm GMT, YouTube UK will block access to virtually every premium music video on the site after failing in negotiations with the Performing Right Society (PRS).

The PRS exists to ensure songwriters, composers and publishers are rewarded financially for the broadcasting of their music.

YouTube UK are saying that the fees PRS are charging are too expensive and would lead to the site losing money every time a video was played.

In a statement, Steve Porter of PRS said the move ?punishes British consumers and the songwriters whose interests we protect and represent?.

Don't know if this was already posted. Fucking sucks anyway...
