It is interesting to me to see how much media center/server technology is developing lately and, while it is still restricted by a lot of draconian business practices in certain companies, I am very excited to see how it continues to evolve in the future. It is even better to me to see this usable on a game console, giving it far more use than it had before – even if that use was a good on its own. It is a bit like how the iPhone, which is already very useful as a multi-purpose device, but is becoming huge as a gaming platform.

Thismight well be another case of the Internet being a tricky little devil for media organizations to cope with. The issue seems to come down to Google being unwilling to pay as much as they currently do for this added content, which thePRS has found to be a poor excuse – more so, which they added, when Google will get more views on YouTube than they would without the content. Of course, it would appear that Google finds that lacking the content, at least for now, is better business sense than paying the royalties. It is certainly hard to say who is in the right for this, but I have to admit, I’ve become rather skeptical of music publishing companies.

One way or the other, hopefully the two will sort something out so that people can just access the lousy content that they want.
