Indeed, YouTube has brought about dramatic shifts in our medium of entertainment. Yet there has recently been raising concerns and complains about the ethicality of YouTube in its dealings in the media industry. More often than not, it has infringed upon copyright laws when people of the YouTube community upload video clips that are copyrighted onto the site. It is a known fact that such acts are not ethical as they undermine the works of others when people do not support the producers, acknowledge the hard work by buying the original videos or music albums but instead turn to YouTube which can be almost considered “piracy”. Though materials such as X-rated clips and copyrighted clips are quickly flagged down by viewers and then promptly removed, the damage has already been done and thousands or even millions of viewers already had the chance to view the clip. The intentions of the trio who started the site were good- to allow people to have endless entertainment on the net. Yet, the way which their site functions is flawed. The only solution is therefore to screen all videos before they are allowed to be uploaded onto the site.
