This reason is why one will normally see a video on the Universal Music Group’s YouTube Channel with embedding disabled, while the same video will be available on another person’s YouTube Channel with embedding enabled.   Many times the way these alternative channels look, makes one thinks that the labels are the ones who set up other music channels with embedding enabled; so, they can further promote the videos of their artists.   If this is the case, the record labels would then be making a very clever move in promoting the videos of their artists and at the same time making a whole lot of money in contractual agreements with YouTube.     Is it safe to say there is no loser in this situation? Well, this could be up for debate. One thing is clear about the deal between the record labels and YouTube, and that is YouTube is better off with the record labels on its side.   Can one imagine what it would be like for YouTube if it didn’t have the permission to host uploaded major record label music videos?   Everyone can clearly see that this would never be an option for YouTube.   YouTube has already lost the ability and permission to host Warner Music Group’s music videos.   This means that any artist that has a video and is signed with Warner Music Group cannot upload his or her videos to YouTube.   There is clearly a loser in this situation. YouTube is the most popular video sharing site on the planet.   Therefore, if an artist does not have the ability or permission to upload his or her own music videos to the site, this artist will definitely be losing out on record sales.   So, the recording artists were the ones who suffer as a result of YouTube and WMG not agreeing on a deal. In summary, disabling of music videos on YouTube is a consequence more than a purposeful action.   It is a cause and effect situation.   YouTube thought it was a necessary action to meet the financial demands of record labels.   It surely made a lot of sense on YouTube’s part, but how long will this last?   We shall see.   The record labels will not sit back forever and allow their artists’ videos to be barred from mass viral exposure all over the internet because doing so would not be smart for business.   YouTube on the other hand, would rather have its videos explode virally all over the internet instead of have them stuck in disable embed mode on its website. <a href="http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/community/2009071808180849/" rel="2c2d878044c63fa861e54dc3f433d3d0ffe25481">Undergoing MyBlogLog Verification</a>
