Youtube already has flatrate agreements in over 40 coutnries, they said yesterday. so they already pay for hosting protected ocntent. But GEMA wanted mroe money form them than in the business model of Yiutube can be afforded, they say. The user does not pay money for the streams. The fianncing takes place via advertising exclusively. Only when you are logging a Google account so that you have access to com ment functions and posting options yourself, you give away the other currency by which you pay Google: your personal data and the spying on your internet behavior that allows the establishing of a consumer and character profile that then gets sold by Google, mostly to advertising companies.
