It is an interesting announcement, but not atypical of a big media company like UMG. I think it is a smart move for them to build their own site and potentially capture a larger percentage of the advertising revenue that they generate from their content, but they would be making a huge mistake if they took their videos off of You Tube. Having content on multiple platforms and sites is additive in terms of total views and revenue rather than hurting these numbers. Look at Seinfeld for instance, it is on constantly in TV syndication, but still sells tons of DVD’s of the same episodes that are on television, and once it is available digitally it will continue to support all the other platforms. This issue is one of major debate in Hollywood but you can’t find too many negative examples of videos where their overexposire or mass distribution contributed to their downfall.
