Vevo

Vevo (proper spelling: VEVO ) is a music video and entertainment Internet site on various platforms. Holdings include Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Abu Dhabi Media Company, is also Google 's stake in the company. The service was officially launched on 8 December 2009 and currently employs some 75,000 music videos.

To attract large advertisers, censored VEVO initially all videos with offensive content ( "explicit content" ). Since early 2011, the company has deviated from this approach and now provides both uncensored and censored versions of the affected videos. The distribution of videos is done both through YouTube, as well as the service 's own website vevo.com. This was the beginning of 2014, among other available in the countries USA, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Germany, Poland and the UK.

Vevo was in Germany initially unavailable because by its own account, in November 2010, no agreement could be reached with GEMA. On September 2, 2013 Vevo announced that they have actually achieved with GEMA an agreement. The users can access via the HDMI Stick Chrome Cast of Google since 1 October 2013 Vevo in Germany on the website and apps for smartphones, tablets and gaming consoles and set-top box Apple TV, and since March of 2014. However, Vevo launched in Germany for the time being without YouTube.
