| Google does evil to independent music business The search engine Google has been accused of doing evil to independent music labels by forcing them to sign up for its streaming music subscription service. The service has not officially been announced and will compete directly with Spotify, Deezer and their rivals. But Google is using its control of YouTube to force indie labels to sign up to the new service according to the music industry trade association the Worldwide Independent Network (WIN). YouTube is approaching labels directly with a "template contract" and threatening that if they do not sign it, all their music videos will be blocked on YouTube. It also claims the terms of the contract are non-negotiable, and undervalue the music of these labels in comparison to Spotify, Rdio, Deezer and other subscription streaming services. http://news.techeye.net/business/goo...music-business |
