EMI Signs Up With With YouTube
EMI is the last of the "Big Four" record labels to sign with YouTube, joining Sony BMG, Universal Music Group, and the Warner Music Group. Its artists include the likes of The Beatles, Coldplay and Gorillaz.
With all of the big record labels now on board, and content deals in place with major TV networks and sports organizations, YouTube has made huge strides in transforming itself into a legit, copyright-friendly entity (no doubt due to the fact that Google is now in the driver's seat). The last major threat that remains (for now, at least) is, of course, that pesky $1 billion lawsuit from Viacom, parent company of Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central and others.
