In my opinion Youtube could also be leveraged to help the struggling music industry. Recent research suggests that more people use youtube to find music tracks more than anything else. Whether these tracks have a commercial music video doesnt seem to matter, people are essentially using youtube as a music search engine. There is money to be made by all the bedroom video producers as a lot of artists and lables dont have the budget for a snazzy video.

But where there could also be growth in the royalty free music industry. Youtube will mute any video that uses unlicensed music; even if the user has created their own video.

So, with the rise of youtube there are potential profits to be had for the bedroom music or video producer out there!
