I don't get how that's "obvious". The rest of the money could still be considered revenue by Sony, them having to pay it over to the publishers of the content doesn't change that. |
That is actually a common tactic. One way multi-channel companies on YouTube tricked so many people into buying them out is they shared the pre-distribution revenue total as if it was their own, even though only a small percentage of it was actually theirs to keep.
It has certainly happened, though I don't know if that's the case here.
