i for one think this is a good thing its putting more controle on music through the internet and will hopefully eventually lead to the resurection somewhat of the music buisness wich has been crippled since the use of the internet and diffrent ways to hear music free of charge became popular if this is done corectly all it will mean is more money for musicians wich will atract more and more people to make more music wich is never a bad thing

BMI ASCAP and SESAC are all a greedy bunch.The song writers see very little of the moneythey extort, it simply goes on to furthur thecollective bargaining machine. If you are fromthe U.K. please remember cutting off servicewas probably a difficult Public Relationsdecision for YouTube.

From what i have heard and seen about PRS in newspapers and on TV they are starting to get a bad reputation, this argument is with Google which is one problem that affects millions of people but PRS have been hounding small businesses in a tough economic climate as well and that is not going down well with nearly everyone i have spoken to about it. Personally i have a great love for music but really believe PRS are taking pushing their weight too far at times.

My children have got on they favourite’s their favourite programmes with music and songs been added they watch these when there’s nothing else to do and know they have become unavailable on youtube. Even clips of strictly come dancing Tom chamber showdance that became unavailable. I can see youtube not be as a poplar as it was once was due to the music videos not showing. This will be the end of youtube
