The team at YOY had talks and meetings with members of Universal Records and AT&T back in 2007 and 2008. They were all huge fans of YOY's concept and the idea of creating a premium music site, thing is they had the opportunity to work with YouTube or us. They chose YouTube and what they got was the not so Hulu of music. We are still working with Universal as YOY still ensures that they and other labels get their fare share, so even if Vevo vs YEAHOYEAH turns out in our favor, Universal still wins. I just can't believe after all that talk and being told about them choosing YouTube to build their site, the site should stumble this way. We were kinda proud to have the labels listen to us and provide so much acclaim that we were eventually a fan of Vevo, but that site was not our recommend. The war is far from over, but as for the first battle, WIN goes to YOY! Another One Bites The Dust.
