This is absolutley insane
I had no idea a youtube clip could pay this well, its a shame Susan is unlikely to be entitled to a share of the profits (ITV owns the show and therefore the content) but with a bit of luck and a lawyer with half a brain she might get a bit of a pay day.
"what deal Cowell, a judge and producer of the show, and his label, Sony/BMG have with YouTube as part of their revenue-sharing deal. If it's half a cent per play — a typical figure for such deals — that would translate into a $500,000 payday so far. And if Google sold a decent amount of video overlays on the video (earning an estimated $20 per thousand views), Cowell and company could be owed millions more in revenue sharing."
the unlikely event you havent seen it
