Asahi: Japanese copyright company reaches YouTube agreement with Google
Google Inc. will pay royalties to a copyright management company under a license agreement that allows legal video uploads of people performing Japanese songs on the YouTube site, company officials said Thursday. Japan Rights Clearance Inc.'s agreement is the first of this scale in Japan involving the Google subsidiary. The popular YouTube site has been criticized for allowing users to upload and share clips featuring copyrighted music without permission. The contracted period is one year from Thursday. Financial details were not available. JRC manages the copyrights of about 5,000 songs, including those of such popular bands as Mr. Children and Spitz as well as big-name singers like Shogo Hamada, Tomoyasu Hotei and Ringo Shiina. The payments to each music publisher will be calculated based on the frequency of a tune featured on the site and other data provided by Google. With the license agreement, Internet users can, for example, legally post clips of themselves or their friends performing karaoke or an amateur band doing a cover of a popular song...JRC was the second-ranked copyright management company in Japan after JASRAC in terms of the amount of royalties collected in fiscal 2005...more...

They've put the squeeze on a lot of places in recent years. If only they were so diligent about making sure the money actually got to musicians.
