Absolute Rubbish. How come Google video isn't mentioned here? Has Google been sued for the same thing? No

It's nothing like Napster either. That was a route for someone to COPY and REUSE (a song, on any player) content. Napster had no control over the content at all. It thought that would save it.

YouTube video content is not available to the community in the same way. The content is stored and managed by YouTube. (ie it can be removed by them) You can only see the video by accessing the controls YouTube has created.

Also - and rather important. I look for content on YouTube because it's different to what I get on the TV, not because I saw it on TV.

I also get to see what I want on it, rather than what programmes on being broadcast at any specific times.

Visit YouTube and the most viewed files are not 'Britney Spears' videos ripped from MTV, it's actually (usually very good) content owned and recorded by the person who uploaded it.

I think your ANALysis is flawed.
