I talked this over with a guy I went to uni with who did some music law. Apparently YouTube themselve pay music publishers, companies such as Harry Fox, ASCAP etc royalties in order to consent with the broadcasting of music and video clips, even trailers etc. Since artists such as Meat Loaf and record companies get paid royalties from these companies it is in fact in their interest to keep videos up. I thought that was a very interesting point of view.
I'm actually finding this situation with regards to the removal of YT videos with cover songs highly ironic considering the legal mess surrounding Bat 3.
