YouTube's plan to provide "every" music video free is a "nail in the  
coffin" of the paid-for online content business model and potentially  
threatens the dominant position of Apple's iTunes, according to City  
analysts.

The video filesharing website, where 100m clips are watched every  
day, is in talks with Warner Music and EMI to offer music video  
downloads for free. Revenue will be provided by advertising.
