Youtube is extremely interestng in that although it displays a lot of copyright material it also displays a lot of instructions on how to get around copyright, and even more serious, laws. Hackers seemingly can't wait to share their info with the world and although this results in many hacks becoming obsolete fairly quickly the reaction is almost always too little, too late. It will be interesting to see how quickly, with the iPad and Kindle e-readers out, how quickly e-book copyrights are sent down the drain.
With music for example, the Digital Piracy laws passed yesterday, all deal with P2P sharing. However, using Youtube, as an example, it is easier and legal to just download music off Youtube. Simply install RealPlayer SP (free) and it will open a window to download and convert to MP3, any music or video you have on YouTube.
From previous use of Youtube it would be much improved with greater gradation of privacy access similar to what Facebook has.
