This youtube thing - if true (where is the official youtube announcement) wont' affect any non-label-signed people, from what I can see.

In my opinion, it looks like YouTube is moving towards eventually charging indie labels/artists for plays on their network, like television programming.
And if my guess is correct, at some point in the future, we will be locked out by the expense.
For example, Spotify made deals with the major labels where they (labels) get kick-backs and the artists get jack. But all indie artists are required to agree to the same agreement if we want on Spotify, though we get none of that.
