Bee on a nettle? 

Thumb Up

This is one of those bee on a nettle situations, someone is going to get stung and I'm not particularly fussed which.

However, its nice to see that finally the music industry have run into someone that won't be bullied. RIA, Warner and all the other pirates have been making this kind of move on radio stations for years. Its good to see them not getting away with it against Google.

Perhaps music isn't actually worth what WGM think it is 

Basically.

This is what happens when a good idea (youtube) gets "monetized" and greedy pigs start pushing in to the trough.....oink oink oink

On a sidenote, I wish a painful death on the person that invented the word monetized.
