Youtube Loses Lawsuit

[DerVVulfman]

But on the Devil's Advocate side, musicians may make next to nothing if...
1) You can garner their work for free and
2) The music companies, losing money due to freely garnered music, cannot pay for the artists or royalties.

You cannot say that the industry needs to adapt to free or relatively free downloads of the copyrighted material.

A parallel: YOU are the owner of a grocery store. You try to make money on merchandise you sell. Then someone walks in and takes your goods and gives it away on the street without paying. You may not agree with this, but it is exactly the same thing.

Youtube may have advertisements and all, but if the music industry or the like are unaware of their media being posted, they are not receiving anything from the hits.
