You thought that MTV was to surrender to all mighty YouTube and substitute even more of their music videos with reality shows? Well, you thought wrong. With the re-launch of their new website, http://www.mtvmusic.com/,  they go after YouTube and their illegal use of music videos by allowing users to watch, rate and share all videos in the library.

The recording industry is no big fan of YouTube and how they loose control of distribution of their artists music videos. Perhaps they trust MTV instead of Google to be their distribution channel of choice in the “new” world of the Internet.  We have all seen crappy versions of classic music videos on YouTube and we’ve gotten used to watching videos in poor quality in tiny boxes. This is great news for those who have invested a lot of money in expensive hardware for listening to music from their computer, they can now enjoy good qulity video.

I love that I can now watch classics like the one below in good quality in the comfort of my own computer. I still love my MTV!

If you’ve read anything on this blog you would probably have noticed that Enligh is not my native language. This is why I have always had two blogs in order not to have a confusing mix of English and Norwegian content on my blog. My Norwegian blog has been unavailable for some time due to the dallokken.com domain switching hosting provider to Media Temple, but it is finally back on line. It does not have a lot of new content on it unfortunately, but I am working on that and I will publish some things there. It will be a blog which is a bit more local to Oslo, Norway and most of the topics will be related to the Norwegian marketplace.

Those of you who speak Norwegian can enjoy my blog “her er mitt arbeid” and for those of you who do not speak Norwegian you can check out the Google translation.
