Each and every official video from bands such as the Red Hot Chilli Peppers was removed leaving only low-quality ones manually uploaded by fans – only to be quickly removed as well.

Now, discussions have reportedly started up again in attempt to thaw the mini Cold War that has developed between the two companies over the past six months of failed talks. Both companies failed to comment on the talks but YouTube will be eager to fully restore the videos as they already have contracts with other big companies such as Sony Music and EMI.

More intriguingly, CNET.com reported that other companies have stated that the conflict between YouTube and Warner Bros. was much more complex and deep. However, they refused to go into any serious detail as to what they meant.

If these claims are true, then it may be a while until we see WB videos up on YouTube again.
