Goodbye, Adele

Record labels representing 95 per cent of the music industry have signed up to the new terms of Google corporation. The remainder, which are asking European regulators to examine whether Google is abusing a dominant market position, will be blocked from the platform.
YouTube is about to begin a mass cull of music videos by artists including Adele and the Arctic Monkeys, after a number of independent record labels refused to sign up to the licensing terms for its new subscription service.
According to Financial Times the Google-owned company will start blocking videos (in a matter of days) to ensure that all content on the new platform is governed by its new contractual terms.
