UMG & Foxtel can’t resolve their issues; YouTube shrugs its shoulders

A dispute between Universal Music Australia and Foxtel has extended several weeks now, with music videos from the world’s most commercial and mainstream acts banned from appearing on any of the networks owned music channels. Missed opportunities in royalties and programming confusion could possibly be an issue respectively for both the major record label and TV network; whether the vacuum left from the pop-stars’ no-show has left any viewers troubled is uncertain, a strong call-to-action for independent musicians to rush their content over to Foxtel it should be. Meanwhile, as both YouTube and Facebook know well, everyone continues to watch music videos online.
