Many TV stations are already doing this Neil - you see this nearly every day on Australian TV - not sure what the situation is in other countries. If some celebrity in the field of music passes away, then you can be guaranteed of some blurry Youtube vision appearing of the said artist on the news bulletin. I think Channel 4 News here in the UK have an agreement with YouTube to use clips in news bulletins - they certainly look like they're sourced from there ! Soon we'll have the situation where broadcasters use YouTube clips of material they have in their own archives, as it's quicker and easier than pulling the tape from the shelves ! |

This may have already happened once or twice. I cannot prove that, but I strongly believe that to have been the case.... |

Hi Neil and Ray - you are both spot on with regards to TV stations using their own material posted on Youtube rather than trawling through their own archives - they are definitely doing that here as well. Definitely easier than searching for a tape on the shelves - and cheaper - which is the bottom line these days!! Shows you how much the TV stations actually care about any potential copyright infringement of their material that is posted on YT in the first place. The old "if you cant beat em join em" at play.

Am I right in thinking that this is only similar to what a lot of members of this forum do?
If you want to hear a favourite song, just go on You Tube and key the title in.
Can be easier than trawling through the dark corners of your own music collection....!!
And you might get a selection of TV performances to choose from, that you haven't seen before.

I use youtube a bit more than some - I have found stuff on youtube that's missing - and a coule of things (not many) have been returned. One Bod has gone back to Kal, and also a Hear Here has gone back to STV. That's a very low percentage I know. Youtube can be excellent, it can also be awful. I would rather it existed than not, but it does p### copyright holders off a LOT, I know and I understand their concerns. Despite sometimes thinking about it, to this day, I have not posted any material on youtube I didn't own. Tempted, I must admit, though I have been, frequently. (I realize that's appaling English!!!! Almost Yoda, isn't it?  ) Incidentally, I confirm that many many TV execs look at youtube. And unquestionably, 1 missing clip did get shown after being shown to a produce on youtube, that I KNOW. |

From a broadcasters point of view, a fuzzy You Tube clip serves two purposes - easier/cheaper than locating an original copy, and in being low quality, it has a ready-made 'old' look. A pristine copy would look too 'recent'.
