Default Google's About to Ruin YouTube by Squeezing Indie Labels
Google's About to Ruin YouTube by Squeezing Indie Labels

Quote:
Some labels are refusing to sign up because they say they're getting a raw deal from Google. They say that while the major labels have negotiated lucrative contracts, Google is offering indies comparatively bad terms. It's their right to say they don't want to sign up if they don't like the deal Google is offering them. In response, Google is drawing a line in the sand: If your label won't sign on to Google's crappy licensing deal for a new streaming service, you can't host videos on YouTube at all.
Thoughts?

I'm perfectly fine with it. Those indie labels can go to the loads of other sites that are available to upload videos. This isn't a big of a deal as they are making it out to be.

Yeah all those video sites with just as much traffic as Youtube, like... and then there's... Or the ones that are at least in semi-close competition with Youtube, like... and then there's... Then there's the site that I always go to first when looking to hear a song, which is... oh yeah, Youtube.

@DJCham - That's true but it still annoys me. Mainstream everything is shoved down our throats so hard that the creative freedom of indie artists gets about as much exposure as it would if we lived in a Communist society. (Okay, I'm exaggerating, but still!)

Soo much awesome stuff out there and it gets steamrolled by cookiecutter bull****. Granted it's our fault if we don't look past the cookiecutter **** and find the good stuff, but it's still disheartening.

Next they'll cut down on Internet forums displaying images of scantily clad women, even if they are found via the Google image search function. Google has no time for irony.

Heil Google.
