There seems to be trouble brewing between MTV and music giant Universal Music. Though no punches have yet been thrown, Universal Music is evidently threatening to charge more money for video rights or to revoke its content from MTV entirely.

Universal Music Chairman Doug Morris has been fighting for years to get more money for music produced by his collection of hot acts, which range from U2 to Eminem. He’s been a constant thorn in the side of Apple CEO Steve Jobs, wanting more money (which hasn’t happened) to sell Universal-owned music through Apple’s iTunes.

I’ll be sure to follow this story.
