This is posturing. "No it's not!" Shut up. "Make me!"

In what could be best described as the world's biggest game of "Oh yeah!" "Yeah!" and "Neener neener!", Universal (the music giant) and YouTube continue to pace around each other in a effort to come to an agreement about advertising revenue. If you believe one source close to the action, more than $3-billion is at stake. The truth will eventually come out about this story, but if what is being said is true, chalk another one up for greed - the music industry, who couldn't tech their way out of a paper bag is pretending to walk away from a the biggest monetary gift since the invention of advertising on the internet. YouTube is playing tough, pulling a lot of Universal content off of their site. What will the next move be? Does anyone even care?

"Greed is a fat demon with a small mouth and whatever you feed it is never enough."

Another Ernest contribution.
