I still wonder why the comment system doesn't work. You click page 2 of the comments and get 90% of page 1 comments. It's been broken forever.

Welcome to the United Kingdom of morons... same here... I can't even access some music videos that were legally posted by music producers or by artists themselves. Fuck it.

I get that too. What's weird is that for some videos the message goes away and you can play the video if you access it at a different time. Weird.

On the other hand, thank goodness it's still fairly easy to advertise for free on their system

Yes very true about the advertising, managed to keep one of my accounts open for about 5-6 months I think before they canned it for breaking their TOS, of course I have a couple of others now

Wonder how long it will be before they stop all of this free advertising too

I get that all the time from over here... gotta look at them through a web proxy on a us server.

Youtube Dispute Could Turn Online Music Services Against Producers

Google pulled thousands of music videos from Youtube after negotiations with music collection entity PRS broke down, leaving UK users looking for alternatives and angering famous musicians, artists and writers.

There are already fears that other online music streaming websites including Myspace Music could scale down their operations or close down altogether if the rates remain uneconomical.

The online video giant's stance has been backed by the likes of We7 and Last.FM; the latter's founder, Martin Stiksel told the BBC that he hopes a resolution could be found to prevent users from reverting back to old habits and embracing piracy.

Stiksel said that both parties Youtube and PRS should strive to get cheaper and less complicated licences. Last.fm's founder also wanted to see a fixed minimum fee introduced, similar to what's currently being used on Terrestrial Radio.

Charging for each track or video being played would cost online music providers significantly more since the audience, compared to traditional radio, is way bigger.

Patrick Walker, head of partnerships for YouTube EMEA, told NMA that PRS and its other partners should not try to strangle ad-funded online music services from the start and should be more realistic when it comes to expectations about online royalties.

A similar row over music royalties in January 2008 saw online music service Pandora pull out of UK altogether while Warner Music decided to remove its content from Youtube in January for the same reasons.

It has to do with syndication rights.

Companies spend a lot of money buying foreign content to either re-transmit or re-produce the media in other countries. So they won't tread on that region if it's sold to someone.

For example I can't watch any of MTV.com's music videos at all, as they're posted on GFY sometimes. If it were from MTV.com.au I'd probably be able to see it being that I'm from AU.

Scott McD · 04-09-2009, 07:49 AM

Yep, UK doesn't get that shit anymore.

Pain in the ass!
