This is irrelevant and I will tell you why. You are paid a gross revenue share based on the money received from YouTube. If YouTube recalls or otherwise avoids payment, then you are still paid your revenue share of f**k all money. You want to argue it, then take YouTube to court.

Primarily brand new accounts, all openly admitting to intentional copyright infringement with multiple channels being closed down, personal insults and more. I'm getting tired of the whining coming from copyright infringers and those who support them.
