Go think that one through to it's logical conclusion.
The rest is equally foolish. Without making youtube responsible for the content on their site, why should they filter it?
Maybe make the posted easily located and prosecuted. So Youtube has to verify the name and offline address and ID of the poster. Got anymore bright ideas?
Yes this is a hard one to crack. Thankfully for the betterment of all of us the powers that be are not willing to lie down and let crime go on. The argument "Nothing has worked so far, so give up trying." Is an argument of failures. If people adopted that attitude we would all be living in caves. It's mans ability to keep coming beck to a problem and trying to solve when previously his attempts didn't work, that got us out of the Stone Age.
It seems by the look of Nextri's sig, he doesn't work the hassle of being responsible for piracy. For a very good reason. It might stop him from making money. So when he says"You can't have an Internet." He means "I can't have a site and be responsible for it."

Your twisting my words.
I'm not saying it's not piracy if I put it up for friends. It is, and I should be held responsible for it, and pay the price. But not those who created the platform I publish it on. That is actually what you said as well:

Those who publish, should be responsible. Not those who created the technology that let me publish, not those who provide the hosting for the website, and not the isp's who allow traffic to it.
