It means interviews and videos by Warner's artists can be used in return for a slice of advertising revenue. The agreement also covers the use of material in homemade videos, which form a large part of YouTube's content. Both companies hailed it as a landmark agreement, coming days after Universal Music said it was considering legal action over sites such as YouTube.”</i><br /><br />Seems like YouTube is every where in the news these days. While this news is certainly big in its own right, part of me wonders if this is not necessarily a good thing. Will the 'spark' that made YouTube popular with users become dimmer as companies try to tap into it's audience?
