Is Web 2.0 ever so wonderful?
I don't think it is.
Copyright violations will become a major, major headache since web 2.0 principal is about 'users making the site', creating a community with their own input.. more often than not involving pictures/videos they have no right to use..and website operators can say "we didn't moderate his post/blog/site/whatever, don't blame us. Just report the site and we'll take it offline in 24 hours.". Which is total bullshit, why should I hire someone fulltime to check out the entire internet for my stuff? The site operators should have some responsibility.
Youtube clones popping up, filehosts that don't give a shit (megaupload/rapidshare etc), ever easier and more anonymous ways of making sites (blogger etc)...
"free shit" is getting out of control within the next few years if this trend continues. Mainstream media sees web 2.0 as a good thing too, none of the negative sides are mentioned, and nobody's forcing any copyrights.
Opinions on this?
