That would essentially mean the death of YouTube. Yeah, there are videos without music, but few of them. I’m sorry to hear this. Guess fan videos will be going back underground again. *sigh*

What does this mean for services like Seeqpod and other music services that were scraping the audio for their services?

If you bump into a muted video on youtube, post this comment:

“We love music! We can’t stand by silently while the music industry continues its decades-long effort to lock up our culture! If you think that it sucks that audio had to be disabled here BOYCOTT MUSIC INDUSTRY!

- Only buy audio-cds second-hand from now on (Use amazon’s second-hand section or ebay from apparently private persons)

- Don’t download from online music stores anymore

- Support self-marketing bands

- Spread this message here on every muted video you encounter”

YouTube’s Missing Soundtracks…

YouTube’s got a blog post up about why audio tracks for music videos are suddenly disappearing – apparently it’s a ’solution’ to the copyright issue. I’ve got a solution for you: get with the times.
