A quick blurb on copyright and YouTube

People wouldn't post episodes of TV shows on YouTube if the companies made them available for streaming. The wonderful folks at South Park have made almost every episode of the series available for viewing whenever you are in front of a computer. How to make fans happy? Simple things like those.





That's the reason I find it funny that people who upload episodes of TV shows to YouTube not quite violating copyright law, especially if there is no other way to stream the episode (Netflix, Hulu, etc).

If it means I can watch on demand, heck, I can deal with the ads, especially since it's free.



But then again, I have a serious disdain for the entertainment and multimedia industry right now. It's run by people with arrogance, at least that's my perception.

*This means you won't see a reality show on my life anytime soon, because the demand that I have complete control over distribution would kill the idea faster than you can say "Action". And not to mention that my life doesn't need a reality show, nor does anyone's.
