Has YouTube Just Been Saved?

,----[ Quote ]
| But something miraculous has happened: several leading media companies seem 
| to have accepted that posting their material online actually helps them – as 
| many of us have been pointing out for some time – because it acts as free 
| advertising and drives users to buy non-infringing content:   
| 
| 'In the last few months, CBS, Universal Music, Lionsgate, Electronic Arts and 
| other companies have stopped prodding YouTube to remove unauthorized clips of 
| their movies, music videos and other content and started selling advertising 
| against them.'

U2 tracks disappear from YouTube

,----[ Quote ]
| U2's manager Paul McGuinness is likely to be unimpressed. He has been highly 
| critical of companies like Apple and ISPs which he described as 
| providing "burglary kits" allowing people to steal music.

| If you can watch it without dropping your litigation against YouTube, Viacom,

| Watch the part about the song that ended up being professionally released. It
| made the company some money. Cluestick: there is more than one business
| model, for those who can get with the new. Sooner or later, your shareholders
| will be furious with you if you don't course-correct and modernize. Yes. They
| will. Eventually, your shareholders will be YouTubers, you know. And you'll
| be what media used to be.
