Youtube gets 45% of ad revenue, whether it's content ID or not. And content ID was forced on youtube when they were sued for $1 billion by Viacom.

  So, after Google was found guilty, the judge ordered contentID to be created and implemented?

    No they created ContentID so they could say "look we're doing the best we can". If they got rid of it all the large copyright holders could sue again.

    It was a civil case, so no one is found guilty. It was settled, and part of the settlement was the google made contentid.
