Well i didn't think it really required the urgency of a serious debate! :s but i suppose the more coverage of it the better for drumming up support for it to get music videos back on!!

Do they? how much do u usually get from playback on youtube??

Example only

Electronic PRS take 15p every time someone views a U2 video.
That goes to the Label

Now PRS want Ł1.50 for that same Video.
per hit to the label.

you times that by billions
no company can take a increase that bloody high.

OMFFFFFFFG i didn't realise they even got as much as 15p TBH i didn't realise they got money via the number of hits!

how does youtube make money then if they are having to pay out 15p each hit??

The You Tube UK boss was on Radio 5 Live
this evening.

He said you can not put the price up so high
in one go.
PRS are being unfair
and will have to make a new deal.

So has this happened yet or is it next monday?

People arent making money off it bar the people who own youtube.

So all vids will get removed i guess.

Until they come to an agreement of how much they get paid.

Okay thanks, i'm sure this will get a lot more media attention now, once people actually realise they can't watch the vids.
