Transcription from comments on the site. Key Points 1. Removes windowing, unless you give youtube offers within reason (but what reason?). (Part 4/3b) 2. Google forces you to offer them comparable offers. 3. Parts of the contract are Illegal in many countries. 4. Prevents future sales through multiple means. Major Paragraph: “Catalogue Commitment and Monetization (...)” Meaning: YouTube not only forces artists to make their entire catalogs available on its free service however, it also demands that it happens on release day, online AND off-line. This prevents future sales — i.e. YouTube users can now download all songs for free, which means there’s no need for anybody to buy music from iTunes anymore. Side notes: 3. 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, 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. or: how google screws over players too small to fight back digitalmusicnews/permalink/2014/06/23/fk-heres-entire-youtube-contract-indies
