Google and Youtube will launch their new music streaming service on November 17th, 2014\. The new App will display YouTube videos as well as ad supported non-video music. Along with these new features is the new music curation service which is powered by Songza, which Google acquired earlier this year. YouTube has also launched a new paid subscription based tier called YouTube Music Key. The service will cost $9.99 a month and be available starting November 17th in the US, UK, Ireland, Spain, Italy, Finland, and Portugal. While YouTube spokesperson Matt Mclernon comments on the launch as a way to “give artists more ways to reach fans and make money,” many industry professionals including Sony/ATV CEO Martin Bandier have commented on the unfair rates for songwriters and artists.
