    Wow, they can license the content, give it away for free, and lose even MORE money! They must be going for a world record burn rate.

    "every music video ever created within 18 months"

    Do you get to choose which 18 month period you will select from? I'm hoping for something like Jul 2003 - Dec 2004: no P(uff) D(a/i)iddy videos to worry about, and I might pick up a cool Peter Gabriel video or two.

      No no, you have it all wrong. YouTube is going to be providing every video that took less than 18 months to make. Christ man, get some reading comprehension skills.

    Upon closer inspection, half of them are composed of the same three anime clips edited and re-edited together.

    Isn't it best to forget some things (like the Spice Girls)?
    No! Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it! And you know the cycle of nostalgia will eventually hit, and some victim of degenerative amnesia will wake up one day thinking "That 'Wannabe' wasn't all that bad, was it? Sort of catchy..."
