MTV2 and YouTube strike deal

It looks like MTV2 gets it. YouTube, the popular video download site that has been embraced by Web users and scorned by some in the television industry, has signed its first formal deal with MTV2. The network has already began to toss up clips on the site for The Andy Milonakis Show and Wonder Showzen. There are still plenty of clips on YouTube that violate copyright, despite the efforts of networks like NBC and CBS to have clips taken down. Here's hoping the site forges more partnerships like this one and other networks start to understand what a great method of promotion this can be.
