You've probably seen by now (?) that youTube and Warner have struck a deal
http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/09/warner-music-group-signs-youtube-deal/
though supposedly that was in September and last month I still couldn't post a video that has a snippet of an Otis Redding song on it (owned by Warner).
Your story about youTube offering to pay you for Soupy Sales vid is a perfect example of what a mess this all is. Can't you just imagine a Nichols & May sketch about this!?!
It makes too much sense, and it's likely to work. Such suggestions will not be tolerated.
Thanks for a vastly entertaining post.
