I have just come across a user who has uploaded to Youtube about 130 videos
during the last 5 days and all of them are from copyrighted DVDs. It just
doesn't make sense to me why people are prepared to take such risks with
copyrighted material when there are no real benefits to them in doing this.
Do such people think they are doing a great service to other viewers? My
lawyer looked at a few of these 130 videos and was astounded that "piracy"
was taking place on this scale from just one user in such a short period.
Well, I guess it's equivalent to piracy if this user didn't apply for
copyright clearance on all these items? Perhaps the Revver idea is a step in
the right direction: http://one.revver.com/revver
