So... I guess Google is still desperately trying to work out a way to turn a profit from YouTube. Guess what Google... you paid too much!

Worth it? That's a strange question. The live show was free for anyone to view. Any viewer who was not satisfied with the show is entitled to a full refund of $0.00. I assume that YouTube got all of the performers to donate their time and energy, so it was definitely worth it for YouTube to promote itself.

Although the users may have been able to watch for free, I highly doubt the performers were not compensated. It was a live show, not a charity fundraiser.
