Google is complicit in the theft....

My wife puts a lot of her Yoga videos on Youtube. Becasue they have music, she has to be careful to only have royalty free music. Now and then, she'll have one track in an hour that she misses and bam! No monetization on that one. Some get tagged way after the fact after she's got several thousand views which is key in the Youtube ranking and SEO. On top of that, Youtube has no facility to update a video, so if she fixes it and takes out the 60 second copyright music, it's seen as a brand new video and loses all the past views.

The worse case is her short Yoga Dance videos which she knows will get tagged with the money going to the 'artist'. I really wonder what that artist actually gets versus the publishing thieves and Google. These videos generate very high view counts and are a huge income machine for Google. Of course, Google is completely un-transparent. It seems that the monthly revenue is constant regardless of views.

She's also learned not to include certain artists at all. Garth Brooks is one that makes Google take down anything with his music.
