So... you think there are users who would rather have access to 0 Zoe songs on Youtube, rather than have access to 50% of Zoe's songs on Youtube?

I'm sorry, I just don't see how this benefits the user.

The calculus behind this benefiting the user likely involves the belief that most artists are going to cave on the issue.

If Zoe says no, she will not be part of the deal, simple as that. I think that an offer saying "all the music from ten thousand artists" sounds better than "some of the music from a hundred thousand artists".
