Default You Tube UK has had to block all major music videos

The PRS ( Performing Rights Society for Music)
who collect the copyright fee
have failed to agree with YouTube /Google UK.

For example if every time you click a U2 video
they pay 5 pence copyright fee to the label.
The boss of UK You Tube was live on Radio 5 Live
he said they are putting the price per unit up to high
'we can not fund it.'

So just as a Example (not real):
that 5 pence fee would now cost 80pence.
that is every time anyone in the UK clicks a music video.
So the PRS UK who collect the electronic fee
are not being fair at all, he said.

They are still at talks

But from now no Music Videos on major labels can Not be viewed
on You Tube UK.
