Well I know Merlin have begun negotiating with Youtube for royalty payments and also they are building a case against them for copyright infringement as well. It is time to join Merlin methinks.

I hear every word of this...disturbing indeed. The debate continues...what's the answer guys?

YouTube pays already royalties. But the big question is, if the artists/composers/small labels get a fair share.
At least here in Germany the money collected by GEMA (for composers and publishers) isn't distributed based on actual plays, but according to other factors like airplay/sales etc.
And will the majors (EMI has licensed its catalogue, the other three big record companies own YouTube-shares) pay their artists?
