While YouTube is free, there are still some TV shows and movie sharing going on in there. Are SOPA and PIPA going to arrest Google bosses as well?

That's why Google opposes SOPA and PIPA, hahaha.

And there's no due process in SOPA or PIPA.

And 59 hours of it is made up of videos of cats doing cute/funny things that their owners think the entire world wants to see. Either that or narcissistic people who want to show off their amateur talents and hope they will become the next Beiber.

The best thing about Youtube is the illegal uploads - ripped TV shows etc, that I can't get my hands on legally here in Japan - Transformers Animated in English for my son, rare concert footage etc for me.

YouTube is awesome. The volume of video and all the tracking software is just awesome. I can't imagine how many servers and storage areas they have worldwide. It must have limit.

YouTube Rocks! I spend a lot of time there viewing videos of old TV shows, old commercials, and anything else you can imagine. My favorite is to view videos of in flight views. So awesome! Nice invention!

I love YouTube. I was able to find old songs that I hadn't heard since I was a kid, and black-and-white TV shows I watched while growing up. The nostalgic old stuff is much more enjoyable than the lowbrow junk being generated in real time. The other day I sat fascinated, watching Walter Cronkrite announcing the death of JFK on CBS News. It's like time travel.

I like YouTube very much but many times, it is misleading titles and many most rated videos are just crap with massive thumb down count. YouTube should add statistic about thumbs up vs. down in their suggestions.
