No, it's a monopoly (youtube: online video) using its market power to juice its nascent music subscription business.

If there were forces artificially propping up YouTube beyond quality of product, I would be concerned.

Right now, YouTube is already in music business. They are just shifting model.

And google uses search, in turn, to juice their own properties (such as youtube) by pushing them higher in the SERPs. See, eg, the europe antitrust stuff for demonstration.
