Thats Youtube.

How can they sue me for doing what they encourage at their expence?
I am merely embedding one of their shared videos into my site.
I'm not responsible for uploading it, nor am I the owner of YouTube.
I'm just doing what they allow me to do and that's share videos.

Now if I were hosting the videos that were infringing the copyright myself that would be a different kettle of fish.

I'm using a service a service provider provides.
It's not my responsibilty as an end user to check the copyright status of videos I embed from their site.

What you are suggesting is that the end user is also going to be punished for YT's failings.

I some how doubt they will do this.

Youtube enable sharing, Youtube are the ones responsible for monitoring their content and the service they provide.

This is what the case is based on, the fact that Google-Tube fail to monitor thier sites contents efficiently and pass the book.

I seriously doubt the big guns are interested in the little man.
What will they get from suing the end user?
A computer and some furniture?

Nothing near as what they would taking on a multi billion dollar giant.

By taking on the little man, this does not solve the long term problem and they know this. Problems are only resolved by tackling their source.

Of course people are going to agree to Google-Tubes terms of service and then upload copyright material. What are YouTube going to do to stop it is the issue. What are they going to do to better monitor and remove such content is what it's all about.
