What a load of hyperbolic rubish. To suggest that Youtube is cheating the music industry out of at least 60% of its potential revenue, a figure a couple of billion less than Googles net revenue in 2015 is crazy talk. It is this type of logic that results in the billion dollar ipod: https://www.ted.com/talks/rob_reid_the_8_billion_ipod/up-nex...

I am not saying that Google shouldn't pay more, I am not saying that Google says less. But do a quick sanity check before posting silly numbers in a blog post. Or better yet, provide solid evidence to back up your assertions.
