Just wondering about this....
I notice that an awful lot of the music video's on youtube don't seem to work when you try to view them on a mobile device and, instead, gives you a message saying something like "The copyright owner for this material has not authorised it for use on a mobile device".
I guess you could, theoretically, sit on the bus listening to one YT video after another but it seems rather clunky and it'd probably eat into your data usage.
So, are these companies blocking music video's from mobile devices in response to a problem that doesn't actually exist or do people use mobile YT like an iPod?
Or, alternatively, is there some other reason why a lot of music videos are blocked on the YT mobile site?
