EMI, YouTube Strike Music Video Deal

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the ebony-and-ivory dept.

eldavojohn writes "Despite initial complaints of copyright infringement, EMI is now striking a deal with YouTube. Perhaps they've noticed that Warner's deal has boded well or they've finally come around to free marketing? From the article, "EMI and YouTube have agreed to work together to develop ways in which EMI-owned recordings can be incorporated into user generated content by YouTube users. News of the deal comes just 10 days after EMI agreed to be taken over by private equity group Terra Firma for £2.4bn." YouTube is slowly building a cadre of friends on the playground while Viacom continues to bully the new kid."

    EMI's approach to copyright will be based more on Terra Firma than from planet Obsolete?

      No, that's not possible. The marketing department must have killed key people in the night and replaced them with dopplegangers. It's the only sane solution to this insanity.

    YouTube didn't set up mass extractors and power generators before building its cadre of friends, so of course building is slowing.
