Thanks to YouTube and other such services the media are no longer in control of the media and are looking at a way of re-gaining control of the media by preventing people from making their own home-grown videos.

Already the media have managed to kill off people doing their own internet radio stations by charging them per song, but ensuring their companies can buy one licence to cover them for the whole year at a lot less cost, now their trying the same with YouTube.

They should bring out a licence that Google could buy yearly for using the music, like shops in the UK do with the PRS licence.

On the other hand, giving away user logs won't accomplish anything, and it will make people lose trust in the system. Punish Google, but don't make them hand over user info - that's just wrong.

These people aren't selling the copyrighted material and they have no right to obtain such private materials... These fricking media companies/associations needs to sit down, throw back a few and relax. I'm so sick of hearing stories about this crap. Like before… this case is still absurd.
