YouTube, Spotify boost Warner Music's earnings It appears that Spotify, Pandora and YouTube have helped boost Warner Music's earnings this quarter.
Overall, streaming services accounted for 25 percent of the digital revenue its "recorded music" saw for the quarter.

In total, the $54 million works out to about 8 percent of Warner's total revenue.

Perhaps more importantly, the increase in digital sales actually outpaced the decline in physical sales for the first time ever.

Well you don't make money to pay people if no one buys the stuff.

It is not piracy but their own stupidity that is killing them. Watch, they will raise the rates enough, reatly reduce their profit. Greed and promoting losers are killing them.
