The prs does extract the urine though, so in a way this is youtube giving them two fingers.

Shame people and artists have to suffer though.

Ip proxy anyone!!

PRS are a bunch of ****** anyway

Tam the bam

Yep, I imagine they are demanding an obscene amount of money from you tube to allow them to broadcast UK music videos, so good on you tube for telling them to **** off

Being honest, I don't use youtube for music vids...the audio quality for most music vids is too dire for me to listen to (unless its HQ).

Bandwidth for streaming is large enough to have audio at least that of FM radio; like this website: Watch Music Videos Free at VidZone

Anyhoo, good on youtube for telling PRS to shove it Their tactics are almost as outdated as the BBC's "TV licensing".

Oh god, don't get me started on the TVLA and the totally ridiculous TV tax, Ive had my fair share of dealings with them.

Good on You Tube for sticking two fingers up to the greedy gits ............ don't they know that greed is obscene these days?

Perhaps the PRS are taking their cue from our highly aquisitive government?
I would be very interested to know what they are doing with all this money, as it must be difficult/impossible to shell it out in a fair to all manner.

what would scooby do

out of every £1 :

68.8p goes to writers and publishers (all members of the prs)
17.7p goes to writers/publishers of affiliated societies.
13p goes into licensing, tax and admin costs and .4p to the prs charity

PRS - hope they all get the bad AIDS

Non UK proxy server - sorted. End of problem.

Cool - I guess my point is that unless you know exactly how many times a song is played and how many people were listening to it - how can you work out how much to pay to whom?

It’s basically a “whose got the biggest ****" contest

The PRS slapped their 8.5” one on the negotiating table, & looking pretty pleased with themselves

However Google/YouTube slapped a 9.5” **** on the table – looked at the PRS guys straight in the eyes and said suck on that

It always amazes me that the record industry just don’t get the digital new media age

I think anyone who pays for Music in any form needs to have a re think.. All music is fee and thats the way it should be.
