Could someone tell me what this whole thing is about? From what i gather it is the following:
1. Users currently can monetize using contentID - any videos uploaded anywhere using their shit and they get a cut of the ads (if there are any).
2. Google is making paid streaming version, artists now have two options:
2a) Agree to have everything on paid and free side and get money. Also, everything you release everything must also release to Youtube (I assume this is the main sticking point??).
2b) Don't agree and only have shit be on free side and not get money. You can upload whatever you want when you want.

She points it out pretty clearly in http://zoekeating.tumblr.com/post/108898194009/what-should-i-do-about-youtube http://zoekeating.tumblr.com/post/108898194009/what-should-i... There are some additions: 2a) … The release on Youtube must happen at the same time and in a specified quality. 2b) … Everything that has been uploaded by her before will be deleted. The obligation to release on Youtube is of course completely unacceptable. I like to think it would be quite illegal in many countries outside the US as well.
