Not charging money for independent, user-created videos, but charging money for people to watch videos on YouTube that are copyrighted like - oh my gosh - music videos!
There are lots of times where I quickly want to check a live performance or a music video, and now I'll have to do that through other avenues if this thing really goes completely through. /shrug

Youtube isn't removing videos, it's just blocking them from the UK. These videos are the ones put up by their record label, so copyright claims on illegitimate videos will always be evident regardless.
I understand if they want to block other people from putting their music on videos, especially if those videos get very popular to the point where the person who made the video is making money/fame using someone else's music.
On the other hand, removing official music videos is a really stupid idea. Sure, the musician has the rights to do whatever they want, but allowing people to view their music videos *legally* helps the musician out a lot, because people can actually get to listen to their song to figure out if they might want to buy it, so the musician doesn't have to trust that people will just blindly buy music without ever hearing it. The day that music and music videos is all removed from youtube will be a sad day for music lovers everywhere.

Using my mates proxy, some of the videos have been taken down by people like "universalmusicgroup" and "roadrunnerrecords". It's kind of sad because this is an easy source of publicity for current known artists and up and comming artists, and the youtube overall hits will probably go down because of this.

I assure you that if someone truly loves music, they'll be BUYING their music.
And even if not, they'd be pirating a much higher fidelity format. Mp3 at least.
If you can't be assed to get your music from a better source than Youtube, your feelings for the music are obviously not that strong.
Of course - but here's the thing: I can't like music until I've heard it, and there's no way I'm going to buy music I don't like. I guess I'm alone in that regard, but that's just how I work. Since I don't want to have to pirate (and also since it's, you know, illegal), I use youtube to try out songs I've never heard before. Sure, the quality's crap, but I just want to know what the song sounds like and see if I enjoy it or not. I don't know any other legal and time-efficient way of being able to listen to popular music I haven't bought... if you've got a better way I'm all ears.

post-dumps abstractly represent the existential nihilism that the song invokes in the listener with negative space, evoking the ephemeral nature of the mind - the journey of stepmania begins in hope yet soon becomes corroded into a dialectic of futility, leaving only a sense of dread and the unlikelihood of a new synthesis
