This is the real reason it isn't worth what is used to be. Technology has put it out there for free, legally.
If you take P2P and rapaidshare out of the discussion, the music on Youtube would be controlled by the artists, not by the public. It's not technology that's put the music out there for free, it's theft in the from of illegal P2P that's done that, using technology as the vehicle.
