Funny how this is on a site that steals videos for their own revenue.

Its a bullshit video btw, someone is just salty on YT's behalf, it doesn't actually work like that. If you view a YT video on FB, it counts on YT as well, so if anything, FB is helping YT with views.

You didn't understand it Mindtrick. People download youtube videos, then upload them themselves, just like this site does. While it is possible to give a direct link to youtube, this procedure has become very common.

#3 ah, i see what you mean. I don't see it personally tho, almost every post on my FB feed are embedded videos of YT, or some redirect to a site which has the video embedded into it. I rarely see a pure FB video on my feed.
Its still a bit of a redundant point in the video tho, as the point of making videos SHOULD be to have them shared across the world. If someone bases their income on making such videos from YT revenue, they should maybe think about other ways to earn money?

#4 following your arguement noone would invest time or money into something worth watching. In the end the internet wiuld be full if commercials and cat videos.

I guess the main problem is how easy you can download and repost a youtube video.

#6 I totally understand, I just have a bit of a different view/attitude towards online content, as i feel an artist should become an artist for the art itself, and not the potential fame/money you can get from it. The video is about stealing content, but i'm thinking past that and kinda towards the whole concept of art and entertainment of that sort. But sure, i understand the concept that they feel they lose views from this happening, i'm just questioning the ideal thought behind an online society in the context.

And yea, i don't think there will be any way of protecting content from being copied as long as its on the users client in the end process, not at this point at least (screen captures etc, gonna be hard to make copy protection for that)

#7 That's pretty childish thinking you have. Is someone paying for your upkeep that allows you to dream that way? Most artists don't have a sponsor. They eat when they manage to their sell art. Sure, one can make a few nice paintings or videos besides own day job that was funded with money from own day job. But that's called a hobby!
No money = no art. It's that simple.

#7 not only childish, but ignorant, maybe even stupid. I don't want to live in a world where you fear to research for years as your patent is useless and will be copied and all your effort has no value. In a world where learning a musical instrument or a creative technique will get you homeless, even if you are brilliant at what you do.

What you describe is the dream of a perfect communist world, which sadly doesnt work.

#8 #9 Those last parts i was talking about the digital age, and the expectations of the artists and distributors, and if they should consider other ways of sharing their material. I never said they shouldn't get paid for it, i'm just thinking they are unrealistic considering the way they are trying to share their content. If you decide to use an online video service like YT, there are the side effects like the easy copying and material getting away, and until they find a way to avoid this happening its gonna continue. The problem isn't that people copy the videos, its the way its distributed and that they expect people to just "respect" their content.

On another note, as you pointed out, "noone would invest time or money into something worth watching", might be exactly what we need. Do you honestly think we lack the choices today? The marked is in my opinion flooded with artists of all sorts, i wouldn't mind having a little "trim" on that area, simply to push forward the really good ones that might deserve it, rather than a lot that might not. I'd rather have quality than quantity any given day. YT has become a "treasure hunters dream" for many, and in that attempt, the content gets "forced" and faked and whatnot, just to get those numbers.

(and my first post i clearly misunderstood the video)

All that rhetoric about stealing and theft, to describe copyright infringement, which is both legally and conceptually entirely distinct from theft.

Less investment creates a broad diversity of bullshit. I'd rather have a boundary of a 500$ upload cost. That would mean you get less, bUt better content.

You might find an indie game enjoyable for a few days, but can you compare it to a gta v?

You might like that independent composer who is posting his hobby results, but is it comparable to a hans zimmer soundtrack.
