In theory the artists make some money on the streaming (youtube or streaming service of your choice) because its counted. Remove the counting by allowing people to rip as mp3 and you remove the small revenue artists/labels share for each play. There is a reason buying a song costs 99 cents (or so) on iTunes but a months subscription to a unlimited steaming service it about 10$ without ads.
