Google bought the site in November 2006 for US$1.65 billion; YouTube now operates as one of Google's subsidiaries.

The site allows users to upload, view, rate, share, add to favorites, report and comment on videos, subscribe to other users, and it makes use of WebM, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, and Adobe Flash Video technology to display a wide variety of user-generated and corporate media videos.

Available content includes video clips, TV show clips, music videos, short and documentary films, audio recordings, movie trailers and other content such as video blogging, short original videos, and educational videos.

Production music (also known as stock music or library music) is the name given to recorded music that can be licensed to customers for use in film, television, radio and other media.

Oftentimes, the music is produced and owned by production music libraries.

A music download is the digital transfer of music via the Internet into a device capable of decoding and playing it, such as a home computer, MP3 player or smartphone.

DVD (an abbreviation of "digital versatile disc" or "digital video disc") is a digital optical disc storage format invented and developed by Philips, Sony, Toshiba, and Panasonic in 1995.

The medium can store any kind of digital data and is widely used for software and other computer files as well as video programs watched using DVD players.

DVDs offer higher storage capacity than compact discs while having the same dimensions.

A music video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes.

Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings.

There are also cases where songs are used in tie in marketing campaigns that allow them to become more than just a song.

Tie ins and merchandising could be used in toys or marketing campaigns for food and other products.

Although the origins of music videos date back to musical short films that first appeared in the 1920s, they came into prominence in the 1980s when MTV based their format around the medium.

Prior to the 1980s, these works were described by various terms including "illustrated song", "filmed insert", "promotional (promo) film", "promotional clip", "promotional video", "song video", "song clip" or "film clip".
