Record Labels In Germany Learning That YouTube Has The Leverage
,----[ Quote ]
| Just as in the UK, where Google decided to block all music videos from the
| major record labels, after those labels demanded payments that Google felt
| was way out of line with what could be made from advertising, it looks like
| Google has now pulled music videos in Germany as well. Once again, the record
| labels will likely complain and demand investigations -- even as other
| artists have learned that they don't need to profit directly from their
| videos on YouTube, but that they can profit indirectly and that pulling their
| videos down actually does a lot more harm than good.

Congrats, Recording Industry: You May Now Have Killed Seeqpod Too
,----[ Quote ]
| The record labels' animosity towards Seeqpod has never made much sense.
| Seeqpod is a basic search engine that seeks out music files online. Some of
| these files are, undoubtedly, unauthorized copies, but Seeqpod has always
| been focused on streaming the music rather than letting you download the
| tracks.
