File sharing or even Youtube for example is their main source of pruduct advertising and they know it and want people to share. Copyright act allows them to make extra money from law suits.

Jun 17, 2008 - I wonder how record companies made any profit before the internet emerged, if that were true. Infact all statistics show that illegal file sharing has hurt the industry. Only small independent musicians and indie film makers have a benefit, with free advertizing.

Aug 7, 2008 - That was one of the most intelligent videos I have seen regarding this subject. Subscribed :).

Oct 26, 2008 - VCR, cassettes, etc. People still copying other people's stuff and giving/letting other people borrow. Therefore spreading the word of said artist/movie, etc. I am against buying a copied vid/music and/or saying that it was mine and illegally downloading an entire playlist from one cd. If these companies cared so much about piracy, they should have the RECORD button taken off every software, dvd player, vcr, cd player, etc.

Dec 4, 2008 - It kind of stinks because YouTube added those annoying pop-up adds on popular videos.

LordofBobz Says:

Jan 13, 2009 - But because youtube has these videos on there site they are supporting the copyright material in away right? and thus they have to take it off? so they could be held responsible if they didnt take it off because they knew it was there and they arent getting rid of something that is not supposed to be on the site? i think u have a very good point and maybe i didnt catch exatcly everything that was being said... but im just trying to get a better view in my head anyway thanks :D

Jan 31, 2009 - silentd1, yes, buisness has gone down. but... let me explain this simply. do they really need more then 1 loaded boeing 747? its not like buisness will STOP. they are still making billions of dollars. AND... people are STILL buying CD's,DVD's, and GAMES. people who watch a video with a song by a band in it, should have the right to watch it.

Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use. want to play legal games? , youtube/WMG think no one knows this-

Apr 11, 2009 - Hate to say this, but... BULLSHIT!!! You know they violate copyights! I had a video on that had NO copyrighted material. Result? They took it down.

Hitomashu Says:

Jul 24, 2009 - Why didnt youtube do this when youtube first came out. If they are in compliance with the man-dates why not from day one. Even if they do it now they should still be held accountable because when we ( Youtube's majority population ) are copyrighted it stays with us until we are banned or we leave and delete the account. Just sayin

Aug 12, 2009 - uhh no advertisements? there's at LEAST one on every video page, including this one. and youtube may not violate the DMCA but they DO violate fair use ALL THE TIME.

Z4rifion Says:

Aug 14, 2009 - it bothers me how someone literally copied my whole video and posted it on his channels for more subscribers saying he made it. I messaged youtube and they didn't do anything.

handsup47 Says:

Sep 25, 2009 - I hope that youtubers, who watch this video, know that this video was posted in 2006.... In that time youtube was becoming moire and more popular AND there were NOT advertisements.

TheNiggies2012 Says:

Oct 18, 2009 - It's important to respect the original owners of their work. But we could do without at these damn advertisements. They just take up bandwidth.
