Say whaaaaaaa ? A record label that’s actually encouraging fair use? Where’s the catch?
I’m not sure whether or not you could call it a catch, but Warners will be taking a percentage of ad revenue from ads displayed on pages featuring videos with their music (enough prepositions for you?). But the bigger benefit to Warner is publicity . Think about it: all those videos using Warner-owned music?
Of course, consumers and fair use advocates have been saying this for years . But now that Warner’s seen the light, we can only hope that the other records labels aren’t far behind.
