[citation][nom]hoofhearted[/nom]Didn't they do a similar thing for Obama's re-election (stuff the ballots)?[/citation]

only case of that happening was a republican woman watching the polls, and she was filling in empty spaces on ballots with republicans, so the whole area had to be thrown out and i believe she is up on federal charges.

[citation][nom]TunaSoda[/nom]If they violated the TOS why do they still have accounts?[/citation]

because they bring in allot of legitimate views. every 1000 views is about 3$ up to i believe 25$ depending on the ad. granted these videos may not have ads for long, or may get a severely reduced rate, but you will still get legit views and if they watch even 1 other video than youtube wins.

if they brought no one to their channels or to youtube, yea they would be off.

so its not a case of a major company getting special treatment, but a highly viewed content getting special treatment.

Columbia/Epic, BMG and RCA are all part of Sony Music... Bertelsmann (formerly Ariola) purchased the RCA record label from GE in 1986, who then went into partnership with Sony as Sony/BMG. BMG sold its' share to Sony in 2008.

There's only 3 major label groups now: Sony, Universal and Warner. EMI/Capitol was broken up; the publishing went to Sony, the masters and artists went to Universal.

Because they are content providers.

They should ban the accounts and remove all advertising, like they do on adsense accounts that they deem fake. All of the advertisers who paid $$ for those 2 billion ad views should get their money back.

Ohio had many districts reporting a 100% vote for Obama, and in those districts where he got only 99.8% of the vote (wards D through G in Cleveland's Fifth Ward), Gary Johnson got more votes than Romney. In Saint Lucie County, Florida, Obama won with a 140% voter turnout. These kinds of lopsided results you don't even see in the most totalitarian of Communist dictatorships.

meh, the way pop vote works, it means nothing at all. you could only have 20% of the pop vote with someone else having 80 and still win. i wouldnt be surprised if they just went with the person in the majority got reported at 100% for the sake of brevity. of if those numbers were meant for something else but got reported out of their context.

Yep - ban these accounts. And while we're at it get them to stop regurgutating auto(-tuned, phrased, harmonied, lengthened/shortened), brick wall limited, and all other acts of musical crime. Keep it real.

[citation][nom]JOSHSKORN[/nom]So the question remains: How many views does Justin Bieber actually have?[/citation]

Lots. Sadly they are all from lesbians who think she's a hot butch.

Nothing like monopolies setting prices and gouging our wallets. I haven't purchased more than a $5 DVD in the last few years. Music is free. Long live radio, pandora, and the humble bundle...if you like that music. :)

Yet I am sure those big record labels still have their channels running and monetized!! I would have been caught doing the same thing and my Youtube account would have been deleted right away I am pretty sure!!
