I think that is not only a issue of fee or something like that, it is much more deeper....YouTube or similar means of "freebroadcast" (including webcasters) are a treat to those conglomerates that may eventually result in the loose of their grip on the sector.

I don't understand it. You would think that these media companies would realize that such things are promos for their artists that encourage fan interest and stimulate sales.
