well while I support what the PRS do generally, I think this is kind of bizarre.

Youtube are removing music from their site, often at the request of record companies and rights holders, because they have had complaints about copyright infringement.


Now I have no doubt that if youtube could find a way of making a profit out of it, it would keep that music up there even if it meant paying record companies and individual artists a royalty. But they don't appear to want to. And a petition can't force them to.
