How the record labels spurned the YouTube opportunity

,----[ Quote ]
| Free video hosting, distribution and promotion 
| would be a boon to most industries but not the 
| record industry.

| [...]
| 
| Meanwhile, those artists who remained on 
| YouTube quickly realized that there was a 
| tremendous advantage to having videos there, 
| even if Google wasn't paying them directly. 
| Blues singer Joe Bonamassa said that the fact 
| that his music was available for free on 
| YouTube increased attendance at his shows by a 
| factor of ten. People in the cities and towns 
| where he was playing would share his videos, 
| and that made them much more interested in 
| attending his shows. It had a direct and clear 
| impact on his own income.
