Quit confusing Web 2.0 with stealing content. I know it's a difficult concept to grasp, but they're two completely different things.  |
It has everything to do with web 2.0. You need to understand that one of the prices of web 2.0 vid sharing sites is Piracy! Video piracy is a natural user behavior! You find it on youtube, stage6, daily motion and 100 other tube sites as well as torrent sites! THIS DOES NOT MAKE THEM ILLEGAL and it does not eliminate the right of those sites to make money as a legit business. ironically you can see that many of the sponsors on those sites are right owner doing good business by selling their stuff
(call it crazy - but this is the reality) It definitely changes the business rules - and this is what some of the loosers here fear!
DMCA is a principle many of you guys do not follow... this means that those sites do not get that many DMCA abuse emails - what makes it even harder for you guys to convince the world about your pathetic cause
Tube sites have piracy on them just as there is crime in any other social groups - this does not make them illegal! and you can not stop it from happening.
Now the other point is that if this "PIRACY" happens in that great of proportions - then we should question again whether its considered to be a crime ?
