THE PROPOSED CONTRACT that YouTube is offering indie artists before they join its upcoming music service has been published in full online.
Digital Music News published the entire contract that YouTube is offering indie artists (with a less than complementary heading), containing the terms and payment structure it’s offering.
One major areas that’s causing problems among artists is the power major labels have in payment rates. If a major label agrees to a lower rate than the ones described in the YouTube contract, Google will have the right to reduce the indie label’s rate accordingly.
Rate Change: To the extent that any major label agrees to any rates for the Google Services that are lower than the rates set forth in Exhibits C or D [percentage rate and per subscriber minimum], including with respect to bundling, Google will have the right to reduce Provider’s analogous rates accordingly, following thirty (30) days written notice (via email will be sufficient) to Provider.
This would mean that the major record labels could negotiate an advance payment in return for lower rates. Indie labels are worried that they will be forced to accept the lower per-stream rates without receiving the advances the major record labels get.
The other concern is the section entitled ‘Catalogue Commitment and Monetisation.’ which states that all artists provide Google with the same content on the same day it provides it to any other music streaming company.
Catalogue Commitment and Monetisation: it is understood that as of the Effective Date and throughout the Term, Provider’s entire catalogue of Provider Sound Recordings and Provider Music Videos (including Provider Music Videos delivered via a third party) will be available for the Premium and Free services for use in connection with each type of Relevant Content… Further, Provider will provide Google with the same Provider Sound Recordings and Provider Music Videos on the same day as it provides such content to any other similarly situated partners.
This causes problems for those artists who would want to withhold their music from YouTube, or has agreed an exclusive release on another platform.
Last week, YouTube claimed that record labels representing 90% of the music industry had signed up to the service, which is expected to see a public launch later this year.

Get rid of thortons in ballyfermot next.
Given it has been 37 years from one report suggesting their might be slightly increased risk to children getting Lukemia I don’t think another 40-50years is going to find it is certain. They aren’t pretty is reason enough but health concerns are in the tin foil hat area.
Yes, they are as ugly as fcuk. They should put them underground.
And Ballyfermot too.
Put Ballyfermot underground? Joe Duffy might have something to say about that.
Plenty in Neilstown and Clondalkin that sit beside people’s houses too. Won’t be moved because it’s not middle class?
Alan these pylons wouldn’t have been moved if it wasn’t for the likes of Microsoft and Google funding the project. They did not move these because of the public outcry that’s for sure.
These pylons are being moved because they’re looking to put in a few thousand homes as part of the Clonburris SDZ. If you think traffic is bad now wait until that land is developed.

I would be more concerned about those dodgy pedestrian crossings in adamstown. Accident waiting to happen, especially as you head towards schools.
You should see the fields beside Labre Park in Dublin. 5km from the city centre. This is not an affluent area so the pylons remain.
Google Labre Park and then go to images.
Now:
Why not complete the task and remove Adamstown and Lucan?
No tourist would ever wander into such ugly places.
Why would a tourist go visit any suburb? Is this a new qualification of a suburban, whether a place is a tourist attraction?
Why would you say Adamstown is ugly, it’s won numerous architectural awards? Anything in particular(apart from pylon) or are you just showing your ignorance?
.
Fascinating that Neanderthal Man and woman still lives on in Dublin.
.
It would be interesting to see what happens when the power goes off from their trashy Coronation Street and Eastenders television shows.
.
Did people knowingly move here with the pylons or did they get out in after the houses?? Not clear from the post.
How did they get planning to build residential units so close to pylons ? Oh wait never mind.
The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel is artificial.
The Mona Lisa is artificial.
Genius is Man-Made.
Just like Wi-iFi masts.
