Hulu, EMI sign music video deal

19 November 2009 12:23 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 2 comments

Hulu, EMI sign music video deal Popular TV and movie streaming site Hulu has announced its first music video agreement with a major record label, signing with EMI Music.

The deal will have Hulu stream some concert footage and music videos of EMI artists, starting with exclusive material from singer Norah Jones.

The deal should help Hulu, now the US' second most used streaming video site, to steal some more market share away from giant YouTube, which dominates the market as a whole but especially in music videos.

    Hmm, I wonder since they made this deal w/Hulu that they'll start monetizing these music videos as a "start" then go total subscription with "select" areas of Hulu. Doesn't sound like a deal too good to be true to me. . . - BLUEBOY

    This is advertising...hulu has made an agreement to host ads for EMI. They act like this is for consumers, but music videos were never intended to be revenue makers; just to promote artists.

    It is incredible when they remove these videos from youtube, and then act like they are features on other sites. Then artist sales go down, and they blame piracy.

    To quote a good man:

    "There's unlimited supply
    And there is no reason why
    I tell you it was all a frame
    They only did it 'cos of fame
    Who?

    E.M.I. E.M.I. E.M.I.

    Too many people had the suss
    Too many people support us
    Un unlimited amount
    Too many outlets in and out
    Who?

    E.M.I E.M.I E.M.I

    And sir and friends are crucified
    A day they wished that we had died
    We are an addition
    We are ruled by none
    Never ever never

    And you thought that we were faking
    That we were all just money making
    You do not believe we're for real
    Or you would lose your cheap appeal?

    Don't judge a book just by the cover
    Unless you cover just another
    And blind acceptance is a sign
    Of stupid fools who stand in line
    Like

    E.M.I E.M.I E.M.I

    Unlimted edition
    With an unlimited supply
    That was the only reason
    We all had to say goodbye

    Unlimited supply (E.M.I)
    There is no reason why (E.M.I)
    I tell you it was all a frame (E.M.I)
    They only did it 'cos of fame (E.M.I)
    I do not need the pressure (E.M.I)
    I can't stand those useless fools (E.M.I)
    Unlimited supply (E.M.I)"
