I'm not sure it makes sense even from a business standpoint. I don't have numbers, but I would imagine there isn't that much money to be gained. And obviously it generates a lot of negative publicity, as well as reducing the amount of videos and thus visibility, which in turn could reduce profits. In short, I don't think it's worth it, even if there's potential for some profits.
From a non-business standpoint, it's a prick move.
