Music back on Youtube uk

Thursday, September 3rd, 2009

PRS http://www.prsformusic.com and youtube have stuck a deal at last..

Each time you watch a music video on youtube in the uk the artist will now get some £ from youtube.

In march 2009 youtube in the uk took off the music video’s which you can read about here: click here

Today PRS and youtube are at last happy with the amount of money to be paid to each artist for each video view in the UK.

rickrolling should make rick astley some $$$$ :)

I have yet to find out what google/youtube will be paying per video but it sounds like it a small amount.

youtube “moronic” ?

Tuesday, October 24th, 2006

An intersting article over at the the register about google buying youtube being moronic!

 

He’s some interesting quotes that court my attention.

 

Still, champagne glasses were clinking last night in one corner of an incestuous Silicon Valley company. Sequoia Capital, the sole investor in YouTube, has seen its $11.5m investment increase 140-fold. So not a bad day for Google Board member Michael Moritz, a partner at Seqoia Capital.

The world’s biggest record company, Universal Music Group (UMG), and the second biggest Sony BMG, will license material to YouTube, we learned hours before the Google deal was officially confirmed. The UMG partnership sounds great on the surface, but less so on closer examination.
