I saw this new link on a video of Rick Astley.

It links to Rick Astley's Profile at ie.youtube.com/RickAstleytv

I think this is much better than muting videos or taking down videos. So simple and if used on an artists song could drive traffic to the artists profile and raise awareness for the artist.

Here is is in context.

And for anyone curious, this is the video I saw it on. Embedding is disabled because of YouTubes Content ID system according to the uploader, but he made this different video with the same hilarious song by Microsoft SongSmith and Mr. Astley :D

This has been around for about a year I think. Could be useful if a song isn't labeled properly and you want to know what it is.

Great, then could they use the Audio Identification from the Muting of videos to add this to every video?
