Google's Talks With Music Labels Have 'Gone Backwards'

Google's music service plans are stalled yet again due to talks with labels that have 'gone backwards', according to MediaMemo.

Google's negotiations with the big music labels are "broken," says a source familiar with the search giant's thinking: "There's definitely a problem with the Google music conversations." Another industry source says Google's top executives are reconsidering their music plans altogether. "They've gone backwards," I'm told.


Google is reportedly "just about at the end of their rope" with the labels and may decide to just launch a cloud locker similar to Amazon's without the labels permission.
