Prince & Youtube Reach Agreement?
If this rumor is true, it is unprecedented.
We are hearing rumors that Youtube is now paying Prince to have his music on their site.
Prince, a long standing opponent of youtube, may have finally reached an agreement with the popular video web site. Lately, Prince’s latest videos and songs have been getting posted on youtube (but wanting the videos not to be posted elsewhere and has disabled the embed code to post on various web sites.) So he may be easing off on them.
I think it is a GREAT decision. I have always been a supporter of youtube and if radio doesn’t play your stuff or MTV is too busy showing an episode of the Hills, youtube is an amazing promotional tool.
What do you guys think of this decision?
I don’t really care if it took Youtube to pay Prince, just glad he is open to the usage of it.-Dr.FB

If Prince has allowed YouTube to post videos, that means they are more accessible, which is a good thing.
The lotusflower.com point made by Pigg is of course valid, but it's time people learn and stop paying for a service before they know what they get

I agree with u Pigg, but I guess we live and learn, still this is good news to get him exposure to the general public.

I see U're point Endre, but still there's something really wrong here, Youtube pay him and they get videos, his fans pay him and they get Youtube videos? That sucks.

Doesn't this open a can of worms? Soon YouTube will be charging its viewers for sign up fees? If Prince is demanding money for his work to be posted, other musicians will follow? And yes I think YouTube is an amazing promotional tool, but not when it comes to Prince. Young ones, and the new fans he gets don't care for his new music. He tried the internet and that is not even working for him. He needs to get back to Vegas, it worked for him there.
