EMI, the last of the 4 major labels, enters YouTube’s fold
News: EMI and YouTube agreed to a licensing deal to allow EMI artists’ videos on YouTube. YouTube users will also be allowed to make “mashup” and “remixes” of some (if not all) of EMI’s videos. EMI’s artists include David Bowie, Coldplay, The Decemberists, Fatboy Slim, Gorillaz, Lily Allen, and Norah Jones. (More)
Analysis: This is big news. YouTube now has deals in place with all of the 4 major labels. (No lawsuits from the recording industry.) That’s quite an accomplishment for YouTube.
