What does Youtube actually make for Google? I thought I read somewhere that it's not that much, considering what was paid for it. For 2006 it looks like it was $12.9m. If that rate is the same for now (it's probably more), then 1 day of Youtube earns $35,000. I doubt they would go after a country for that amount, though they would probably be upset about the outage and use whatever political muscle they have to pressure Pakistan to rethink.

Ha, I'm pretty sure YouTube is highly unprofitable currently, in which case Google should be paying Pakistan.
