I honestly don't get how youtube.com makes money....to me, it's just a place i go to post a video for free....so how does the owner of youtube make any revenue off of that...so therefore, if i post a video that happens to contain a clip from a sponge bob cartoon and I'm not making money off it how is that breaking any law? if you read that FBI warning that the beginning of any DVD before a movie starts (and even when it was still VHS) the only way you were breaking the law was if you were charging people to watch the video with you. no one is charging you to visit youtube....youtube is a free site....so how can they be infringing anyone's right? does that make sense?
