Re: [Dfey-nw-discuss] [Fwd: [ORG-discuss] PRS and YouTube to encourage filesharing]

[Ross Woodruff]

Hmm, I often use youtube to listen to songs if somebody recommends me them. I don't think that people who use this solely to listen to music will stop listening - to be honest they are quite likely to turn to downloading their music illegally. I'm sure that other sites will soon emerge though.

Hopefully more people will use last.fm...
