It's official: Google is about to ruin YouTube. A company exec told the Financial Times it will start blocking videos from record labels that refuse to sign licensing deals for its forthcoming premium service, YouTube Music Pass. This is the dumbest thing Google could do, and it threatens the very heart of what has always made YouTube so special.

 

Alright then. You will destroy people who aren't signed with the big companies? SCREW YOU GOOGLE!!

 

 

Unfortunately, in an effort to build out the long-rumored YouTube Music Pass, Google's resorting to strong arm tactics that threaten to destroy YouTube. The Financial Times reportsthat Google has inked deals with the three major record label conglomerates (Sony, Warner, Universal), as will as a number of indies, accounting for 90 percent of the music industry.

The problem is Google's plans for the other 10 percent. The company's head of content Robert Kyncl told the FT that it plans to start blocking videos from indie labels that haven't signed licensing deals "in a matter of days." The FT says that these labels include XL Recordings and Domino records, whose rosters include Adele, Animal Collective, Arctic Monkeys, and loads of other popular artists. In a statement to Gizmodo, Google confirmed the FT story as well as its intentions to launch a subscription-based service.

 

This is bad guys...really bad. Ten times worse than google plus. We MUST protest, and as Linus says "vote with your wallet." Stop supporting google. It's funny really, as Google was the beacon of openness, it's now closing up entirely. Google, hear me now. You will get no more of my money or respect for your products.

You really need to read what you're quoting.

 

"it will start blocking videos from record labels that ..."

 

YouTubers and music makers are safe...

 

Edit: If you meant the indie labels as indicated in the second quote then my comment is this: Oh well... It's the label's responsibility to provide for the artists they sign with. If they can't do that, then there was no reason for them to become a label in the first place if they can't even provide the basics.

That's easier said than done considering Google is all over the internet.

 

Google was never a beacon of openness. They just like to use the open source community like the sheep they are.

So monstercat, liquicity, and mau5trap are screwed?

 

Fuck you google

Well not necessarily. I'm pretty sure Monstercat has licences for the music he has on his channel since he later compiles it into an album and sells it so... correct me if I'm wrong.

I will buy a music pass if they don't take the piss with the cost and up the audio quality to lossless.

Gah fuck it that's a lie I will carry on pirating it all, I listen to too much music to pay for it I'd I did I'd have to choose between that and everything else I spend money on in life.

Google appears to have been co-opted for some changes in recent history. Just looking at some of the decisions lately; To my conspiracy filled mined it really looks like someone is pulling the strings and shaping the new google. Google is no longer the bright shining star of innovation that we once knew in 2000.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Users cannot, and will not securely manage key material. Most users can't and the ones that can, wont.

Ask me about Bitcoin, Litecoin, Crypto-Currencies, and/or Mining them.

You clearly misread what the open-source community truly is. And while I do agree with your observation on Google's size, it does give onus for more and better competition. I, for one, am looking forward to Yahoo's new video move, especially if it doesn't have the limitations that Youtube currently has.

YouTube isn't going to take ANY videos down, as the article implies. Why would they do that? It makes no sense. YouTube just won't include those artists in whatever new music service they're building.

Everybody should stop freaking out. YouTube is not trying to fuck you over.
