Who will win the war, PRS or YT?

PRS has a business model that relies on the majors, youtube relies on the advertisers, ad revenues are going the way of the web, the majors have a fragmented market model of ad revenue funded licensing with slowing CD sale revenues, and the threat of piracy.

Will the content creator win or loose in this dog fight?

The content creators need avenues to get wide distribution of their work, YT, Myspace, Facebook etc.., without this exposure going forward into the network age for content delivery what's the alternative?

The way this play's out will determine the landscape for the Digital Artisan.

Has YT given the keys to the web by forcing the artist to make up there mind,

Indie or major, ....... whats your flavour!
