Metallica, Madonna and Led Zeppelin May Be Removed From Youtube

Acts including Metallica, Madonna and Led Zeppelin may all have their music videos pulled from YouTube following a money row between their record label and the internet site.

Warner Music have decided to remove their artists' promos after they failed to renegotiate a deal with the site's owners over shared royalties.

Music executives will also remove all amateur clips that feature artists on their roster and any copyrighted songs.

A statement from Warner Music reads, "We simply cannot accept terms that fail to appropriately and fairly compensate recording artists, songwriters, labels and publishers for the value they provide."
