Soundcloud looks to Monetize.With the launch of a music subscription service imminent, Youtube unfortunately and perhaps unsurprisingly finds itself in the Amazon vs Hachette of the music industry.Facebook also takes the headlines with yet another reason to gripe about it... this time they were purposefully trying to make you unhappy.
