Yikes! That sucks!

Hopefully it won't be as bad as I feared. I think it's mainly going the hit the premium video's which the record companies themselves upload, so if anything it's more of a loss to the recording artist than it is to the consumer. They're the ones who will lose out on free promotion because of their own greed

So far I can still view fan music video's at least *crosses fingers that will continue*
