Sixx: A.M Responds To Youtube’s Comments Over Royalties

Sixx:A.M have responded to YouTube’s comments after they launched their Don’t Be Evil, Do The Right Thing campaign.

The campaign was originally set up to get YouTube to pay more in royalties to the artists it features on it’s video hosting website. YouTube released a statement saying: “The voices of the artists are being heard, and we’re working through details with the labels and independent music organisations who directly manage the deals with us.”

Sixx:A.M have responded, stating: “We are glad to hear that YouTube is listening, but actions speak louder than words. Previous meetings have been postponed and emails left unanswered, after YouTube asked us and other artists to postpone our protests in return for a meeting and action on the issues. The protests were restarted after a lack of activity by YouTube’s Chief Business Officer Robert Kyncl, and we sincerely hope that this is not further spinning on their side. Larry Page is Google’s CEO, and our letter was to him. He’s accountable to shareholders and the board of Alphabet. Where is his response?”
