Commission asked to crack down on YouTube, Spotify, Netflix in copyright bill
Quote:
Two groups representing the film and music industry wrote to Jean-Claude Juncker on Monday (11 July) asking the European Commission to crack down on internet companies they say are exploiting artists.
Creative industries and internet companies are bracing themselves for changes to EU copyright law that the executive plans to propose in September.
Songwriters, singers and movie directors and producers signed a letter to Juncker asking him to propose measures that would require YouTube to pay artists more if their works are available on the platform

It will be interesting to see if YT and others are forced to pay for their content.
