CNET is also reporting A French company as saying Microsoft?

YouTube also signed a deal with Windup Records. Windup is and independent label distributed by Sony/BMG Entertainment.
The deal YouTube was hoping for with CBS has apparently fallen through. All the links are at wowtechminute.com.

From Aloha Workshops on the Big Island of Hawai`i this is Brent Norris for the World Organization of Webmasters and the Wow Technology Minute.
