For the sake of consumers, when bandwidth costs come down hopefully something like a wordpress for tube content will take off and people will start hosting their own videos and find ways to profit from it. I assume the YouTubes give themselves certain liberties with people's content in exchange for the service. Fuck it, people took their blogs off blogger when WP and MT came along. I'm tired of business people complaining about the theft of music, movies, and whatever, when television personalities make heavy use of YouTube content shot by regular people in their programs. And I assume the regular folks see not a dime.
