Youtube turning to controlled music space

    If you're currently subscribed to an unofficial artist channel, you will soon be subscribed to their Official Artist Channel and your subscription to any unofficial artist channels will become inactive. The Official Artist Channel is a single destination that gives you access to an artist’s full body of work, so you’ll now receive notifications solely from the Official Artist Channel whenever new videos are uploaded or when an artist wants to send a message to their fans.

    I wonder how much google skimmed off of unauthorized uploads of copyrighted materials up to now?

    Copyrats push things in usual state now :-) And it is good, btw, makes more people find proper (in terms of copyrats - improper) places to get content.

    The unofficial channels probably didn't have sufficient subscribers to qualify for monetization under the new partner rules. Youtube didn't want to cut off that source of revenue - conclusion: pool all of the subscribers on the official page which is monetized.
