Are artists forced to use vevo?

[xnoxiousx]

I dont get it why can artists just say fuck you and open there own youtube channel with there music videos that are uncensored.

Is there rules that force it?

I'm sure VEVO has a contract with several record labels so they can host the music videos.

So your saying they have contract with Aftermath or Interscope so they get all the videos?

[VenomBlackViper]

What Solace said, since the record labels own the artists music they have contracts with Vevo for the music videos so they make money off of all the Youtube popularity.

Solace is correct

I hate Vevo.

If every video was uncensored, and no ads, something like Vevo would be amazing. But because of the censorship, and the ads, it's fucking shit!

Almost 50% of the Top 20 most viewed videos on YouTube (all-time) are Vevo related

To be fair there getting better no love was uncensored but the old videos like stan, dont give a fuck and all them will always be.

You can find uncensored versions of all his older music videos, you just gotta look.
I don't even care about the ads, I do other shit while they babble about some shit I could care less about. I just hate the censorship.

Actually, thinking about it, both Not Afraid and LTWYL are uncensored too.

The majority of Vevo videos in general though are censored.

If they are going to censor videos they should at least do what they did with No Love.

Won't fully be MTV until you have to get low scores on an IQ test to upload videos, anyone with a high score will be banned from youtube.

Doesn't take a brainiac to know you're not allowed to upload music that's not yours either..

[VenomBlackViper]

Thats why you make another account if you wanna upload music or videos/movies,, ect
but I mean until Youtube is filled with corporate assholes that make you watch 3 minute long ads to see a censored music video and spoiled white kids with camcorders who feel the need to show every waking moment of their meaningless life on their youtube channel
