DJKZ I'm sorry but this doom mongering about YouTube is just nonsensical. Do you really think Youtube has any plans to remove the millions of user generated videos because they have indie music in them? Do you think YouTube are going to remove every 'illegal' music video on their site?
I can't understand why indie artists are complaining about YouTube. Sure DON'T sign up for Google's
ill-fated streaming service, Spotify is king and shall remain so for a while, but wake up and start controlling your own content.

Let's face it, Vloggers will be remaining on YouTube and indie artists have to wise up to how to use YouTube to their advantage. Blog, do behind the scenes or whatever you can that stays on the right side of YouTube and distribute your videos, using Vimeo or AN OTHER service, on your websites.

Why the BPI or AIM are not rolling out their own streaming solutions and blocking Spotify etc beggars belief. Streaming services are not that hard to do nor is it hard to create a company to manage it and pay all the royalties fairly.

I am not worried about YouTube because what the idiots at Google seem to forget is that Social Media is driving lots of traffic to YouTube and it's a no brainer to add a white label solution or even drive traffic to Vimeo. I do think it is time for the government to set a statutory royalty rate for streaming services and other licensees of music/
In The Know Typical ! ... they don't want to be a part of it (Google's new service) - then complain when they are left out !!!
K It may look rosy from the majors POV but they're not exactly known for developing and breaking new artists. Youtube has been _the place for Indie's to break artists for years and I presume every non-major artist will be affected by this.

This action will affect the whole industry.
JK2006 I agree K but others (in it) say it's better and healthier than ever. I have constant arguments looking in from outside saying "those in the industry have been killing it for 15 years or longer for one reason - they really don't care about music any more".

Or they would have constructed "the new model". Protected their copyrights. Found ways of promoting to larger and wider audiences. Developed and helped new talent.

This simply illustrates how, when something grows, it dies. My Space was superb when it started. Ditto You Tube which has declined in leaps and bounds since Google bought it.
