Youtube has financial agreements wherein they pay content producers, it’s a business relaationship and subject to business law (in addition to civil and criminal).

Say what?

You mean beyond just placing ads on their videos?

If so he'll have a case against them for breach of contract. I'm not holding my breath.

The info I got says -
“YouTube creators earn money from advertisements that air alongside their YouTube videos. They only get paid when viewers watch in full, click on, or otherwise interact with the ads. Google takes a cut of the earnings, as part of the YouTube Partner Program’s revenue-sharing model.”

So, Google (Youtube) gets the ad money and takes its cut. Without the content, they would have no place to put ads and be out of business. Also, Youtube is very often strongly integrated in online personalities/entities other promotional & money making ventures.
