YouTube on Monday said it is blocking certain copyrighted music videos in Britain until it overcomes an impasse in a licensing deal with the Performing Rights Society for Music (PRS). "This was a painful decision, and we know the significant disappointment it will cause within the United Kingdom," YouTube director of video partnerships Patrick Walker said in a posting at the popular video-sharing website. "Our previous license from PRS for Music has expired, and we've been unable so far to come to an agreement to renew it on terms that are economically sustainable for us." Google-owned YouTube said it continues to negotiate with the PRS, but in the meantime will block premium music videos in Britain "supplied or claimed by record labels."
