Well, it will be cool if that turns out to be the case. YouTube co-founder Steve Chen hopes to have every music video ever created on the site in 18 months. Granted, there are tons of them already on there, but of course they’re unauthorized and all that hoo-ha. According to the story, the videos would all be offered for free, which is a step better than Google’s current video vault, which offers a lot of videos for 99 cents in a similar iTunes fashion.

“Right now we’re trying to very quickly determine how and what the model is to distribute this content and we’re very aggressive in assisting the labels in trying to get the content on to YouTube,” said Mr Chen.
