I don't think it has anything to do with updating any FMAC website...its all just about the power and money....sorry about this Daniel....

If Warner Brothers doesn't want people to do this, they need to release a dvd of all FMac, Lindsey,Stevie,and Christine videos.

I believe that the reason is because YouTube IS making money off of advertising on its site. Warner Bros. said it wanted a cut of that revenue for YouTube's exploitation of their material (whether fan-posted or not). YouTube refused to share a cut of revenue, so Warner Bros. is making sure its material is not on YouTube generating viewership and revenues for YouTube.

I see your point. I didn't think about it like that. I'm pretty new to youtube or any sites like it.

I thought I read somewhere that youtube was going to give WB a share of the profits, but WB wanted more than youtube was willing to give. idk, either way it seems greedy on both counts.
