I believe that artists should be reimbursed, but how YouTube does it does not look just at all. It is a simple money grab by fat major label execs who were able to cut deals with YT at the expense of regular people. Yes, if someone uses a copyrighted song, they should either be asked to use something else, provide proof of a deal or agree to send a split to an artist. I understand currently it is that the label takes all. I wonder why there isn't any lawsuit around this?

> I wonder why there isn't any lawsuit around this? There's been a ton of action around this, including an active class action lawsuit. Congress was hearing testimony on this exact subject back last year and there's legislative action going on in the EU. I suspect this move was in direct response to those hearings.
