Compare and contrast this YouTube video and the one that is likely to be the original. YouTube has clearly ripped off the video, including the overlaid ad for the original site. Over 50,000 people have watched it. I found the video from a link to the YouTube version, of course. If YouTube put garish ads on the page (or, worse, on the video itself as they seem to like to do these days), will they share the revenue with the originating site? Note that I cannot flag the video to tell YouTube that they are clearly stealing someone else's material: I can only do so if they are stealing my material (or it's pr0n or violent or the like).
