YouTube has made some surprising progress in its quest to host
every music video ever created in a deal with Warner Music that will
put the record giant's entire music video library online. This is in stark contrast to the recent
legal threats by Universal against YouTube regarding copyright. The Warner deal gives YouTube users access to the music videos plus the green light to remix those videos with their own content. The terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but Warner and YouTube will be sharing advertising revenue.

Perhaps Warner wants a piece of YouTube? Blogging stocks had an article about possible YouTube IPO. Here:

It looks like Warner is starting to "get it". Putting the videos out can only increase their profits, not decrease them. It's why music videos were made in the first place, as marketing to sell albums.
Now if we can only convince them to license their music to Fox so that we can get WKRP on DVD.
