Well WMG has been such a pain in the neck recently, removing tons of videos from youtube, asking youtube for revenue and pissing users off. WMG's stock is already dropping, they should be grateful, youtube is free advertisements. Plus they have so much cash I don't think they have enough space to store it. WMG is worth a few billion dollars. What do you think of it? Personally I feel that they should lift the ban, apologize formerly and let youtube off.

* One of my vids got deleted!

Warner Music Group, and they have removed videos that have just a few seconds of "their" music!

Business is all about money and they will do anything to suck every last cent out of anyone they can.
The only solution get filthy rich and buy them out XD

That is unfair, only showing a short preview of the song and requiring you to make a purchase. The greed of people, that is why we love Youtube! Even if many companies, actors, singers etc., complain against it.

i agree what is the point of advertising threw youtube i think that the users will just click on another video and listin to the song there.

I would normally say youtube. However recently they have been getting really hung up on copyright. Many fof my favourite videos (especially videos of the Woodstock Festival) have either been taken off or have had the sound removed. I understand it is not their fault but it gets irritating sometimes. I think I might do some looking up about this WMG, see what they are like.

Yeah, I know. I wish the copyright rules didn't apply on Youtube. Although, I would be mad if someone posted videos of me and got all the subscribers and so forth.

I have a strong dislike of WMG. They remove all the videos people watch and enjoy just to make a dollar. How about instead of forcing the videos to be removed or the sound removed, they just have advertisments put up or something with the video so they can still make their beloved dollar and we can enjoy the videos.

Youtube.com is a very good website I just checked WMG and I didn't like it.
