YouTube Kills Billions of Video Views Faked By Music Industry
The video service deleted more than 2 billion fake video views in the channels of Universal, Sony, and RCA, according to Daily Dot. The decision apparently was made when YouTube found out that the companies were using view building services hired from sites such as Fiverr to create video views that never existed.

Sony/BMG's was hit the hardest with views dropping from a total of more than 850 million to just 2.3 million. RCA declined by 159 million views to a total of 120 million. Universal lost more than 1 billion views and now stands below 6 billion.

No shit. A little faith has been restored knowing that there aren't 900,000,000 people listening to Justin F'king Beiber. So, the thing with internet money is it's fucking worthless, but if you're a manager for a piece of shit act and have staked you're rep on it, what better way to get absurd booking fees than to speak to some technophobe booking agent and say 'look, 900 million views, this will sell out in no time'

Bet whoever owns PSY used this trick too.

The mega corp music biz is failing.

Big labels continue to feed the masses terrible over hyped handsome kids that can barely play or write a song.

They sign a nice smile and a pretty voice over true gifted songwriters, and new explosive and exciting artistic directions.

The good stuff is all underground.

Yet, the creme always rises to the top! :)

Yeah and this!!!!


Film and music industry caught pirating movies and games


On behalf of TorrentFreak, the Bittorrent monitoring company scaneye found out that also those are guilty of copyright infringement, who claim that they are suffering most from other people copying their content.The data from Scaneye reveals that piracy is not only a matter for regular end users but also within the movie studios itself. Torrentfreak show downloads for e.g. “Battle Force 2012“, “Happy Feet 2“, “Sons of Anarchy“, “The Hunger Games” from Paramount, “Navy CIS“, “The Expendables 2” and adult entertainment motion pictures from Warner Bros., “Top Chef“, “Rizzoli & Isles“, “Ice Age – Continental Drift” from Sony Pictures and “Downtown Abbey“, “The Fast and the Furious 6” or “Step Up Revolution” from Walt Disney Studios. Maybe these are the companies where the MPAA should start their work when going after piracy.But not only the movie companies have been found actively downloading content, also music industry employees were caught pirating content. We can see downloads for “The Cleveland Show“, “Masterpiece Theatre” and “Adventure Time” from Universal Music Group, “Gossip Girl“, “The Possession” and XBOX360 game “Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions” from Sony Music Entertainment and “Suits“, “House at the end of the Street” and “Finding Nemo” from Warner Music Group.

production companies making their own pirating organizations on the internet to complain about piracy, in order to try and make their next move before the real enemies undermine them.

Fund their own enemies, to prevent real ones.

Look at how marketers use Facebook. There's loads of YouTube vids on the topic. Often, they have angles which most of us overlook. There's a whole industry built around manipulating people on FB/Twitter et al.

Youtube allows ads to be placed on their popular videos to generate ad revenue; these ads pay out proportionally to the number of views the video receives. So this is, in effect, not only deceitful but a form of digital cyber-theft.

There are millions of fake accounts across all of the big players. I would bet that Twitter alone has the largest share. You can buy thousands of followers for very little money. BTW, the followers are not necessarily dumb, or obvious - they can appear perfectly legit to a casual surfer.

And so again, the archetype of greed plays out the fable as "Midas Kills The Goose That Lays The Golden Eggs" as here.
What do you guess, if the artists ever got a penny for all the "hits" it would be a big surprise.
