Because the content on Youtube is user submitted. The idea is that users submit their own content, it just doesn't always work out that way.

That, and you don't see a Youtube logo floating in the corner the entire time.

So we have two websites making money off ads presented next to stolen content.

In one corner, we have the infamous and despised Ebaumsworld.com, and in the other corner, we have Youtube. Both websites host many many stolen videos, usually submitted by someone not connected in any way with the video. Both websites brand their name onto the hosted videos, and make users think that their site created the videos.

So how exactly is Youtube any different from the schmucks at Ebaumsworld?

YouTube makes no claim to the content that is uploaded. You are going from an organization that does this for profit, Ebaumsworld, and a bunch of unconnected users uploading various content, YouTube users.

YouTube's staff isn't going around, uploading everything they can find, chopping the copyright information off, and claiming they made it. The users are.

Everybody hates Ebaumsworld, and when I see a user posting stolen content on YouTube, there's often people scolding them for it too.

A. The content on the YouTube Website, except all User Submissions (as defined below), including without limitation, the text, software, scripts, graphics, photos, sounds, music, videos, interactive features and the like ("Content") and the trademarks, service marks and logos contained therein ("Marks"), are owned by or licensed to YouTube, subject to copyright and other intellectual property rights under the law

Compare this to EbaumsWorld, which is widely known for stealing, maiming, and removing any and all refrences to the original creator.

I'm sorry, but it appears you have lost. Please insert a coin and try again.

Ebaums world wouldn't be so bad if they didn't put there ugly watermark on every single piece of content on that site. And like what was said in a previous post, they remove almost every single mention of the original author most the time.

YouTube gives you a place to host your content, they don't add annoying watermarks, and even though they make money off advertisements, I think the exchange is fair enough. Add in the fact that the world always has and always will be constantly stealing ideas and material from each other.

Stealing something and not putting your name on it is still stealing.

Also, when was the last time Youtube employed popups?

Hey, I like YouTube, it's my primary way of hearing music aside from my CDs (I listen almost exclusively to European music but currently live in the USA, which usually only plays American artists.)

Which I find rather annoying, especially when it's a new (or obscure) song I'm trying to hear that's taken down because of copyright violations. Apparently, we're expected to hear it on the radio, but I'm on the wrong continent and the only stuff I hear on the radio is the same old Mims and Daughtry songs for the zillionth time.

The another annoying thing is when I have to verify my age by clicking on something whenever I want to view something flagged as "over 18". There really should be a profile setting to always view them (or is there and I didn't see it?).

Yeah, I hate it when they delete a video on YouTube due to a copyright violation...

I listen to almost all European music, especially Atomic Kitten, my favourite music group.

I listen to a lot of songs that aren't in English. I don't mind not understanding them, as I'm more into the sound of the music than the lyrics. (I didn't take any languages in high school as the school didn't offer them, although I'm currently trying to learn German.)
