Of note: Sony/BMG, like many copyright holders, is now officially promoting their artists on YouTube. This is good because stuff goes up there officially, and it's available for viewing without having to go to Sony/BMG's site and navigate through crap and use whatever crappy player they've got going - it allows use of YouTube/Google's search function to find what you want, instead of having to go back and forth on the publisher's site, maybe finding it, maybe missing it even if it's there.
On the other hand, they'll almost certainly be increasingly vigilant about keeping other users away from uploading their own unedited recordings of the artists they represent (not a major problem), as well as the co-opted use of those music recordings in fan videos, use as background in collage videos, and who knows? Maybe they'll even go after young girls lip-syncing Pixies songs - how wrong! But in all seriousness, with the entry of big copyright holders into a realm that has burgeoned under use by casual users, I hope they don't sic the lawyerhounds on the other users, because there's already enough chilling effect on people's ability to interact with the media they love, and share it in their own way.
