YouTube and Google Music are separate product teams. Google Music is run through Android.

Of all the bone headed product decisions made at Google, the fact that Android owns Google Music makes me say "WHY?????"

Its not an RIAA limit (and somehow, you all extend much more power to the RIAA than they have in these matters). It's a Google endemic product org issue.

i think the difference is that for example vevo has ads supporting the music you listen/watch through the youtube channel. As of now there's not the ad alternative through google music.

as someone else said they did announce youtube integration through artists hub as well as linking to purchasing the track from youtube. http://music.google.com/artists/ - at the bottom is screenshot of what it will be like.

But imagine if the product teams were united.
