YouTube, intellectual property rights and payment for the same: Groups like the Beatles, Earth, Wind and Fire or Led Zeppelin are certainly honoured for their musical genius. They are honoured by fans who create YouTube videos with their music. Yet, YouTube also benefits from this music in the video. The band should also benefit as it is their music. The music is the unique intellectual creation and expression of the sing writers and performers. Every YouTube video carries ads in the page itself or within the video itself with YouTube paid ads. But, being entitled to payment is not actual payment. Where is the cheque or the money transfer for these artists with many of them being people of colour? Google YouTube is a Russian owned broadcaster so we would say it is hoped that this lack of respect for media intellectual property that may include movie clips is not indicative of some kind of Anti Western cultural devaluation and usury although the artist does get some attention and we like them; we really do like them. The bands should benefit as YouTube is an airwave or.medium quite like and radio station or television station. It's a novel medium but it is a medium all the same. Novelty is no defence to non payment of monies owed due to use of intellectual property belonging to others. Warren A. Lyon, In-House Counsel Angel Ronan Lex Scripta.
