  It seems so judging by the scarce amount of leaks. At least I haven't seen it prior to this published one.

  This contract is probably behind an NDA and releasing it may also break other confidentiality agreements already in existence. The summary is that these terms are very unfavorable according to the indie artists and the companies they are affiliated with. They feel they are being strong-armed by Google and that Google is showing a strong preference toward large media companies and making it very difficult for future indie artists to become successful with this agreement.

  Up until now, yes, in that it concerns something not yet released. YT is working on releasing a streaming media service, on terms that are still emerging/being defined. From the looks of this document, the terms will not be pretty for non-major labels. YT gets a lot of reproduction rights and the ability to manipulate prices, which has a very high potential for exploitation of artists.
