EMI also licensed its library of videos for Vevo shortly before its launch and its acquisition by UMG in 2012. Originally, Warner Music Group was reported to be considering hosting its content on the service after it launched, but formed an alliance with rival MTV Networks (now Viacom Media Networks). In August 2015, Vevo expressed renewed interest in licensing music from Warner Music Group,[12] and its deal with WMG was completed on August 2, 2016, making the entirety of the &#8220;big three&#8221; record companies&#8217; music eligible for licensing for Vevo.<\/li>\n<li>Vevo controls advertising around its videos, and much of this revenue is collected by labels (for big vids, often tens of thousands of dollars)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b><b>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b><b>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b><b>Can anyone upload videos to Vevo?<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How to get your music video on Vevo.
