“Content is King”, hence the success of Google’s YouTube. The RIAA is going after rogue downloaders, but every music video I’ve ever seen on MTV is on YouTube. This makes me go “huh?”. Sure, distribution is much easier, and yes if an artist exclusively sells their material themselves they make the majority of the money, but the material still gets copied around the net at an alarming rate. I think one of the other loopholes with YouTube, is that the uploaders aren’t making a profit when re-distributing the content. If YouTube charged for access, they would have gotten shut down a long time ago.
