Google Inc. seems to be very unhappy with the negotiations with record companies. Let me remind you that now the corporation is actively negotiating with copyright holders, since it is going to launch a large-scale music service. It may well be that the service will be launched even without label licensing (although I am a little misunderstood how this can happen in law-abiding America).
The most unsuccessful negotiations are with Google Warner Music Group. Here, the label requires one, for example, a user to pay an annual subscription for the right to access the service in the amount of $ 30. Google asks for something completely different - to ensure the possibility of free listening to the first 500 tracks.

Now, according to rumors, the developers of the music service from Google are thinking about the possibility of launching it without licensing. As far as we know, this is exactly how the service from Amazon works, and this is how it was
conceived “to start up first, and then negotiate”. And it seems like there are simply no problems with the Amazon brainchild. Maybe Google, too, everything goes smoothly?
In general, Google corporation now has several problem areas of work, including Google Books, Street View, and now Google Music (this name was given to the service by those who were the first to know about its possible launch). Let me remind you that the first rumors about Google Music appeared after some users downloaded a test version of the application for listening to music from Google from the Android Market. Two days later, <a href = "
