As reported by CNET news, it appears that Warner Bros and YouTube are in talks again; which could possibly result in benefits to all people who were uploading RHCP (and other musicians' stuff) to YT and got banned, even for background music in their slideshows sometimes.
Six months ago, talks between Warner Music Group and YouTube over the licensing of the label's music videos broke down, and since then, anyone looking for official clips from acts such as The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Death Cab for Cutie, and Green Day has likely been disappointed.
That presumably could change as the companies have entered into a new round of talks, according to two sources with knowledge of the negotiations. While the companies have spoken several times over the past half year, the most recent discussions are more serious, the sources said.
No deals have been worked out and there's a long way to go before any agreement is reached, said the sources. But they added that the mini-cold war between YouTube and Warner Music may be thawing.
Representatives from Warner Music and YouTube declined to comment.

thankfully youtube still has some of the older chili pepper music videos but it is annoying when videos are muted for a simple background track.
i find it Ridiculas that the RHCP vids are not avaliable, isnt it also fair that it should be on youtube to show us their great work and as well creating the videos??!!
Fair enough if they want to block people's slides or fan made that includes their music, but i am dissapointed that their officails are not up there
