YouTube has announced that it is to block all premium music videos to its British users after it was unable to reach a rights deal with the PRS, the main songwriters' collection society.

I don't really care to be honest, music videos should be watched on TV. But because MTV (MUSIC Television) spends more time showing shite reality programmes, means it's harder to find places to watch them.

this is absolutely DISGUSTING.

Money grabbing nonces. You tube was the best before everyone discovered it.

Exactly, MTV's shows get worse everytime I tune in. Base is my obvious favourite but even that is filled with re-runs and the same music videos over and over.

Only time I really find myself watching a proper music programme is Freshly Squeezed on 4. Alexa Chung and Nick Grimshaw are often slyly slagging off artists which is sometimes amusing.

Yeah, that was pretty cool. Music on a Music TV Channel, who would have thought it.

Occasionally watch MTV2 but no way near as much I used to 5+ years ago.

This is all down to the success of Big Brother/Pop Idol and the retards that spend their money on it.

Probably not as I'm pretty sure that it is determined by your IP.
