YouTube strips Universal and Sony of 2 billion fake views

http://j.mp/VfPUcC  (Daily Dot)

   "Google slashed the cumulative view counts on YouTube channels
    belonging to Universal Music Group, Sony/BMG, and RCA Records by more
    than 2 billion views Tuesday, a drastic winter cleanup that may be
    aimed at shutting down black hat view count-building techniques
    employed by a community of rogue view count manipulators on the
    video-sharing site."
