YouTube’s got a blog post up about why audio tracks for music videos are suddenly disappearing – apparently it’s a ‘solution’ to the copyright issue. I’ve got a solution for you: get with the times.

As it is, searching for things on YouTube is already a chore because of the colossal amount of people who upload the tenth copy of the same video, but this time from a copy of a copy of a copy ten times removed. You see ten results for one video, nine of which are blurry blobs. It makes using YouTube frustrating, and it makes being a fan frustrating. Now, we not only have ten videos of blurry blobs, chances are good that the two in which you can discern the artists from the scenery have no soundtrack anyway.
