I'd think the RIAA would be much happier if music wasn't available for free so easily. And YouTube is a great place to find music legally. Getting free money isn't great at all if they think that the free money is from other companies destroying more profitable distribution channels. I definitely don't agree with that. But companies wouldn't have sued YouTube asking for over a billion in damages if they wanted to do business with them.

A spurious lawsuit will cost the defendant millions of dollars to defend from even if they win, so filing one and then offering to withdraw it in exchange for large concessions is actually a somewhat common negotiating strategy for soulless kitten-eating behemoths with no regard for fairness or their own reputations.
