Movies & TV, formerly known as YouTube Movies, Movies, and Movies & Shows , is an American channel created and automatically generated by YouTube to feature films that can be bought on YouTube's website.
Background
YouTube, which was starting to become mainstream starting in the late-2000s, had many of its users start looking for professionally-made videos, mainly the Hollywood-produced movies and TV shows produced by the Big Three media networks, growing increasingly tired of videos that were produced by amateurs. Before the implementation of movie & TV show rentals, the only way to watch them on YouTube at the time was viewing the said content on an ordinary YouTube channel. These channels illegally acquired movies and distributed them for free, without paying licensing fees to the rightful movie distributors. This issue led to various lawsuits by traditional media companies, most famously including Viacom.
Development
YouTube's development of the section dates back to 2009, with separate 'Movies' and 'Shows' tabs. At the time, the tabs did not feature new, mainstream content. Instead, they consisted of old content, which is cheaper to license. After the addition of the tabs, numerous rumors sparked throughout the web. These rumors concerned that YouTube was possibly adding a movie rental feature in the future, with a catalog of mainstream Hollywood movies, and shows coming from the 'Big Three' television networks. They later confirmed these rumors when they implemented a movie rental feature in 2010. However, in order to experiment with the feature, it only included independent films as part of a partnership with the Sundance Film Festival for a limited amount of time. It would not be until 2011 that YouTube included mainstream movies and shows, with their expansion of the content renting services, thus originating the current system. On June 10, 2015, the current topic channel for movies and TV shows was created.
