Madonna, Phish, Neil Young Videos Banned from YouTube



Madonna, the star whose BlackBerry addiction might just have had something to do with her recent unsuccessful marriage, has recently been banned from YouTube after Google and the singer's label, Warner Music Group, failed to reach a content-sharing agreement.

Maddy isn't the only celeb supposedly prevented from having their content posted on the site, as all other Warner artists -- everyone from AC/DC, Bjork and Josh Groban to Phish, Neil Young, and T.I. -- have similarly been recipients of the ban hammer, at least for the official Warner Music videos (believe us, there's plenty of other random videos of all those bands still alive and well on YouTube).

It's unclear exactly why the ban is being put in place, and whether it's Warner or Google that is ultimately responsible for the tiff, but the repercussions will likely be that streaming the Material Girl's classic '80s videos will be a little harder -- but not much. There are certainly plenty of other music video sites out there these days. [From: Silicon Alley Insider]
