The truth is Youtube brought this upon themselves, if they didn't want people to upload content from copyright shows and movies then maybe you should have thought of that BEFORE you launched this big ass website phenomenon. Seriously, you can't stop people from doing this stuff realistically.

Content is going to be illegally downloaded. There are thousands of bit torrent websites, music sharing programs, and machines designed for giving us illegal movies, music, images, artwork and just about anything else we can think of. Pulling down copyritten content is a pointless and fruitless expedition.

Even if they say shutdown youtube entirely, it'll only be a matter of time before someone else launches a similar program site, and does the same thing. People do it with bit torrents and limewires and all these other programs. I can see how they'd want to protect their material, but realistically, it's impossible.

People want this stuff and no matter what Youtube does, there gonna get it. I also agree with what Vox said in saying that people want episodes and cartoon shows that aren't available yet. I have both seasons of W.I.T.C.H. on file on my computer and I intend to keep them until their DVD reason comes out.

Which may be never considering how some shows never get picked up. When and if they come out, THEN I'll delete them. But until then I will continue to download these videos, music, and etc and I think youtube should lay off yanking down harmless clips like snippets of Drawn Together or even Foster's.

Youtube should go after the serious offenses like showing REAL movies like "Over the hedge" on Youtube. If Youtube is too big to find stuff like that then that's there problem, they made this and if they don't know how to control it properly then they should have thought about this before putting the site up.

I don't hate them, and I don't blame them at all for feeling this way. Viacom and other companies have every right to be concerned. However, this is the game Youtube got itself into, they knew what they were doing when they started this, and it's not wise to piss off your supporters by yanking stuff off.

You'd be surprised how many videos that have been uploaded to Youtube that are just angry messages telling them to stop yanking their clips off.
