YouTube now only has three major record labels on their website due to WMG backing
out of their deal. This resulted in WMG copyrighted material to be pulled from the website.
Any material that is from an WMG artist/band that is posted on the website in either form
of video will pulled or deleted. This caused a lot of controversy with members on YouTube, with
videos of them expressing their distaste, and may have resulted in other activity on the website. This also resulted in artist's/band's YouTube profile music videos, who were signed with WMG, to be deleted as well. Their has also been rumors that it was Google's or Youtube's idea to delete the WMG material.

If you anything to say about this issue, please post a comment of what you think about it.

What does 'WMG' stand for? World Music Group or something like that?
