[QuadList] Copyright Issues

[Don Norwood]

YouTube has some fairly harsh warnings about posting video for which you do 
not own the rights and yet it appears to me that probably well over 90% of 
what is on the site is in violation of the rules.  My video clips would be 
among the 90%, and I have reservations about posting these and others that I 
think everyone would enjoy.  I certainly don't derive any income from the 
clips and I don't believe the owner is losing any revenue, so perhaps the 
only financial impact is to YouTube who gets more "free" material.  (By the 
way, how does their site make (or propose to make) any money?)  I doubt that 
the owners of what I have already posted are going to be concerned about it, 
but that doesn't make it right.

So, what's the prevailing wisdom about this?
