yea i know this is gonna suck! i like google and all...but YouTube is its own thing! theyre gonna be so "nonyoutubeish" probably...but no time for assuming all the time, we should wait and see with our own eyes (its probably not gonna be that bad, but its not gonna be THE ORIGINAL!)

Music videos on the internet isnt illegal, think about it this way, Broadcasters show music videos on tv, and you only pay for your tv licence,
well, broadcasters on the NET show it, and you pay for your broadbandinternet what ever, and plus, its not downloadable videos.
