YouTube: The Big Copyright Lie

Un altro post spettacolare su Coding Orror, questa volta sull'ipocrisia che sta alla base di siti come YouTube e il rispetto dei copyright.

YouTube: f**k copyright(tm)

How do we reconcile YouTube's official hard-line position on copyright with the reality that 90% of the content on their site is clearly copyrighted and clearly used without permission?

The copyrighted content stays up until someone complains. Then, and only then, is it removed.
