EMI, YouTube Strike Music Video Deal

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."

Now, maybe

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

I hate to ask

But how does this affect EMI's relationship with Sony and the RIAA, and how would this affect (possible) actions from the RIAA?

Not trying to troll or start a war, just curious as I cant find anything that discusses this aspect anywhere online.
