Universal attacks YouTube and MySpace

Universal has recently attacked YouTube and MySpace sites, as Reuters reports, accusing them of infringing copyright as well as owing the industry “tens of millions of dollars” already.
Whether Universal will sue or try to negotiate with the sites is not yet clear. So far the labels want to be paid for the copyrighted material whereas the sites would rather offer content for free but with some amount of advertising.
Possible development of this story is that either the label will change its business model substantially or launch yet another lawsuit against sites offering content.

Universal can screw themselves.

Just suprising how fast they licenced YouTube after that.

Just another RIAA-type circular firing-squad.

The ship is sinking full of plundered gold from the 'golden age' of CD & Vinyl sales when Joe Public paid liberally - they (the 'majors') were making upto £6.50 for every full price album they sold...sink you bastards,...your days are done. The candle always flickers brightest just before its extingushes...may the plundering continue until every decent act has its own website to do downloads....scary ha Universal...bye bye

Before Viacom served YouTube with their controversial lawsuit, a video I wanted to see there was removed because Viacom told them to. It was recorded from MTV2 US. I went to Yahoo instead.
