Because more youtube hits = money. This is because advertisers pay popular channel owners to advertise on those channels.

Universal, Sony, and RCA want/need money just like everyone else.

Ah, that makes sense. I wonder if it was worth it, now that they've gotten in trouble.

They probably don't have much to lose since they're quickly becoming irrelevant and obsolete and because everybody just steals their product and shares it online anyway.

Tom needs to learn how to count...

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.
..or am I missing something?

They were hit the hardest because they had the largest percentage of views deleted.
