YouTube and the copyright cops:safe...for now?

I read the article that is entitled “YouTube and the copyright cops: safe…for now?” written by K, Fisher. The author said about issue of copyright. Today, YouTube that is popular video sharing website is issued because of it shows videos without authorization. Therefore, it is obvious that the owners get angry because YouTube interrupts their profits. However, YouTube does not damage because YouTube only host videos.


In my opinion, of course it is not good that YouTube shows videos without authorization because the owners are disturbed to get profits because of YouTube. If other companies, for example BBC, show unauthorized videos, they would have to pay money. So it is unfare that YouTube does not damage because YouTube only host videos. However, YouTube is popular and many people use it, so even if YouTube goes away, another website like YouTube will come up. So I think these kind of problem is endless.
