YouTube Changing Tune

In the past TV giants would ask YouTube to remove videos in light of copyright infringement, but not anymore. According to the New York Times article by Miguel Helft, “Now they are choosing to claim their videos and allow YouTube to sell ads when you watch them. Then the revue is split between YouTube and the content owners.” He goes on to state that 1/3 of the clips uploaded to YouTube are by fans of the shows. Thus the content is deep and would be impossible to parole, so why not capitalize on it? If you are thinking of creating a business, what a great model to follow.

Do the ads on YouTube bother you or are you used to them now?
