So are there any competitors for YouTube out there who haven't sold out to the corporate man? Perhaps it's time we gave them some publicity and traffic.

In the meantime, rest assured that I'll be turning over a new leaf and joining YouTube and Google in their jihad against their own users. We'll be checking in daily to see how many copyright violations YouTube is promoting on their video home page. I sure hope it doesn't stay at the current level, which appears to be about 50%. That would mean YouTube is pretty much just a criminal venture, and, well, I suspect the feds wouldn't look kindly on that, especially congress the next time they have to look at copyright laws. But I'm sure YouTube is so much more than that, so today's promotion of nearly 50% seemingly illegal videos is I'm sure just a fluke. Because if it wasn't a fluke, well, then YouTube would pretty much have to cease to exist, since we wouldn't want to be breaking any laws.
