You Tube and the copyright cops: safe...for now?

On YouTube site, lots of people use to share video without approval, but the site is still survived. According to Daniel Pearl, Deputy editor of BBC’s Newsnight, BBC, not YouTube, is responsible if they use materials without the copyright owner’s permission. Because YouTube is an “online service provider”, it is protected. YouTube makes users to pirate videos easily, and many users play on them. However, YouTube should not be innovative biz. It will be innovative business if they are under the copyright law. For now, YouTube is not restricted by law, later nobody know what will happen.


In my opinion, I agree that sharing material free such as YouTube should be eliminated. It gives not only beneficial video clips to users but also harmful materials that are injurious to young people. Moreover YouTube violates privacy of people. Imagine, you do not realize that someone always watches you. You Tube, users, society, and government, all of them are responsible for this incident.
