    > Let’s hope it doesn’t make entrepreneurs more risk averse

    Perhaps it will also make some entrepreneurs realise that they can't get rich by infringing other's copyrights.

    So you'd rather we didn't have YouTube and we were still watching these clips on the crappy TV network sites (or not at all)? If YouTube hadn't taken the risk, that's where we'd be.

    netting $20mm on a primarily illegal content business isn't so bad though, no? Not sure napster was so lucky

    Pete you either respect that there is a thing called copyright or not. Maybe the content owners are stupid but they own the content don't they? What would you honestly feel like if I copied everything from this blog and set up Masherble.com? It's the same ethical principle. I'd be making money from your copyrighted material. That's not right.

    As a content publisher, I'd have to agree that it is unfair when people steal our stuff and make money off of it. We put a lot of time, money, and creativity into everything and it is unethical for someone else to profit from that.

    Sites like YouTube would likely be just as successful if they only had user generated content and were more strict about reviewing content before it is approved. It is possible to "play by the rules" and be a success. So, this won't deter companies who are entering the market and plan to respect copyright.

    Revver comes to mind as a company who has done just that.

    You guys still not understand the word
    P U B L I S H

    It means to make public.
    All humans being copy behaviour from birth onwards. Only God has a copyright. If you do not want to makeyour music known outside the concert hall, : Than don't make records and do not publish.......

    Right Dubay !! We all copy intellectual and creative "property".

    Intellectual property is copied by us all for free. I don’t “invent” a meal every day but copy cooking skills from others. I speak a language I did not invent. I tell jokes I heard others telling me before. I draw pictures with instruments I did not craft myself, I sing songs other composers sang first etc. etc.

    Copyright is only a creation of those in power to impose on those without power. It elitarian politics and protectionists economics .
