In case you want to watch some of your favorite Lupe videos or if you want to see the latest videos of T.I., Diddy, Madonna or Linkin Park...where would you go to search them? I'm sure most of you would say "YouTube" - you can forget about that now because The Warner Music Group removed all music videos of their entire roster from the site.
Back in September of ‘06 Warner made a deal with the popular video-sharing site to share revenues from ads and royalties but after renegotiations failed over the weekend, WMG said they will take down all videos and songs from their artists, as well as content from those signed to their publishing branch.
“We simply cannot accept terms that fail to appropriately and fairly compensate recording artists, songwriters, labels and publishers for the value they provide,” Warner Music said in a statement over the weekend.
Warner is not the only company with problems with YouTube. Universal Music Group, Sony BMG Music Entertainment and EMI Group Ltd. are also in renegotiations with the Google owned site.
