Google’s rumors about the music service are finally coming out. Google is planning to launch storage lockers that users can save their music and get it from any internet access area. The first step for Google is a download store that contains music, music videos, ect.. Also it would just like iTunes, Amazon, or any other music download store. Once the merchandise is purchased, is would be downloaded to two places. 1. Your internet accessible device, like Google TV with is coming soon and music library were song are stored.
Google could collide with trouble when it comes with to the record labels. The fee would be around 25 dollars an hour which would split revenues 50:50. Music publisher would also take around a 11 percent share but, this early there is no clear way to tell who this is coming from. That percentage is actually a lot for Google only because Google’s songs are from file sharing sites would deffinately be in the way on sites that are legit.
There is still some way to go for Google to get all of the agreements to get signed. Google is totally going to want to start in the United States. A similar streaming company named Spotify hasn’t managed to set up in America yet, even though they got nearly 10 million users in Europe.
