MTV Launches Music Video Site
An anonymous reader writes "MTV Music has just launched a website where they offer over 16,000 music videos — like YouTube, but with fewer notices and DMCA takedowns. They've also set up development tools for third parties to incorporate the content into their own creations. Users creating accounts at the site face other challenges, however, such as the six separate agreements and privacy statements that must be accepted via a single checkbox. Thankfully, at the time of writing the MTV Music website was making this process easier on its Firefox 3 visitors by automatically checking the accept box whenever any agreement is viewed."
In about 8 months, they'll have nothing but Real World, and you'll have to go to www.mtvmusic2.com if you want to actually see music videos.
Support the EFF and Creative Commons. The war is coming, and they're supporting you...
Does this mean that they can stop wasting our time with those stupid music videos on their TV channel, and get back to their reality TV roots...?
Luxury. Outside the US it's 0Kbit/sec and we have to add our own noise.
Who ordered that?
MTV have done for music what pork fat has done for cardiac health.

Dam, I did not know that Denmark had been accepted as a new state in USA. Now I only have a few days to find out which president candidate to vote for.
Why was I not informed before.
I guess in your case, you *can't* dance if you want to.
Isn't "Under Pressure" that song Queen ripped off from Vanilla Ice?
The people behind MTV Music's web presence filmed a short video detailing their goals with the site, and outlined how they'll separate the Music videos from other MTV content to help establish a more defined web presence. I found it worthwhile.
