GOOGLE BANS YOUTUBE MUSIC VIDEOS IN THE UK!!!!

As of today, Youtube users in the UK will no longer be able to watch music videos by their favourite artists, because search engine giant Google (who owns Youtube!!) has got beef with the organization PRS!!


PRS for Music, is an organization that issues licenses to companies who use music as a part of their business, PRS also ensure artists/songwriters/ producers are protected when it comes to royalties, and copyright etc. etc.
So the beef started cos Googles' license is up, and PRS want to up the dough Google/Youtube pay each time someone plays a music video. Google said they'll lose money and PRS are saying the same thing.

But whilst these two mega-organizations argue over £££ you the UK user of Youtube will suffer. TYPICAL we say.

Lets just hope this gets resolved ASAP.
