EMI signs content deal with YouTube

The Electric and Musical Industries Ltd (EMI Group), the world’s third-largest music firm has signed an agreement with Google Inc.'s YouTube that gives video-sharing site’s users access to EMI audio and video libraries.

In a joint statement on Thursday Internet search site giant Google Inc. and EMI Group PLC's EMI Music record label said that they've agreed to let users of Google-owned video-sharing site access videos and music by EMI artists, including David Bowie, Coldplay, The Decemberists, Fat Boy Slim, Gorillaz and Lily Allen.

Under terms of the deal, the Kensington, London-based music company not only agreed to offer YouTube users "unprecedented" access to authorized sound and visual recordings from its catalog, but will also allow them to incorporate limited elements of the videos in their own content.
