YouTube To Block Music Videos In the UK 161
ChunKing writes "YouTube is to block all premium music videos to UK users after failing to reach a new licensing agreement with the Performing Rights Society. For many of us in the UK this is great news. The two main music licensing agencies in the UK — Phonographic Performance Limited and PRS — have a stranglehold on music use in this country and are stifling creativity."

That's nothing - I read it as PPL, which sounds quite similar to the abbreviation for Phase-Locked Loop. Oh, how we laughed !
