I just called my ISP. They told me that they are not doing anything new 
that would interfere with sound from youtube. They said I will have to 
contact youtube directly (as if that would be possible). So, what's the 
411? Is youtube limiting streaming (if that's what it's called) to get 
people on paid subscription in anticiptaion of the new Canadian 
copyright laws or what? Youtube has become a critical tool in giving 
guitar lessons. Students come in asking to play songs I've never heard. 
So, I go to youtube, type in "Wonderwall Oasis", listen to the song, 
download the tab, and we're off. I would probably pay for a youtube 
subscription if I had to.
