YouTube blocked in China
BEIJING, China (CNN) -- China has blocked the popular video-sharing Web site YouTube but did not offer a reason for the ban.
Google, which owns YouTube, said it began noticing a decline in traffic from China about noon Monday.
By early Wednesday, site users insider China continued to encounter an error message: "Network Timeout. The server at youtube.com is taking too long to respond."
YouTube to block UK music videos
YouTube to block UK music videos
YouTube is blocking all premium music videos to UK users after failing to reach a new licensing agreement with the Performing Right Society (PRS).
Thousands of videos will be unavailable to YouTube users from later on Monday.
Patrick Walker, YouTube's director of video partnerships, told BBC News that the move was "regrettable".
Steve Porter, head of the PRS, said he was "outraged... shocked and disappointed" by YouTube's decision.
In a statement, Mr Porter said the move "punishes British consumers and the songwriters whose interests we protect and represent".
The PRS has asked YouTube to reconsider its decision as a "matter of urgency".
The body, which represents music publishers, added: "Google has told us they are taking this step because they wish to pay significantly less than at present to the writers of the music on which their service relies, despite the massive increase in YouTube viewing.
"This action has been taken without any consultation with PRS for Music and in the middle of negotiations between the two parties."
Would You Pay For YouTube?

Would You Pay For YouTube?
The best things in life might be free, but not so much for YouTube users who may now have to pay to download select videos.
YouTube Thursday told users that it is testing a new program that lets its partners decide if they want to charge users for their videos or make them available for free.
On the YouTube blog, the Google-owned subsidiary presented the news as a positive, saying that users who buy videos "receive a permanent, offline copy of the file in return." To buy videos, users have to pay a "small fee" through Google Checkout.
YouTube partners khanacademy, householdhacker and pogobat, among others, are participating in this pilot program as an additional distribution and revenue-generating tool.
YouTube failed to point out the obvious, however: The program enables it to generate revenue, although the site did not spell out terms of the profit sharing plan.
Partners who hook up with the site can set their own prices and decide what kind of license they want for their videos.
