Yes, I agree with the statement. Youtube has been the latest craze to hit the internet for the past few months or even years. Its popularity has soared with time. People seek to check the site out to view clips that are outrageously comical, silly or simply hard to get without paying for it. Most importantly, one can watch videos on the site without downloading any software or even registering.
The clips in YouTube are highly enticing and beguiling. Many visit its site for the sole purpose of entertainment, to catch up on the latest humour in the net or simply to kill time. With its high popularity, advertisers are willing to pay a lot in order to be on YouTube. And soon enough, YouTube was sold for $1.65 billion 21 months after it was first set up. Money is definitely a driving force behind the establishment of YouTube. Should it not be a factor behind the creation of YouTube, its creators would certainly not be willing to sell its prized possession. Selling YouTube shortly after its creation is hard to swallow, especially when one chooses to believe that YouTube was not created for the purpose of money. The transaction of YouTube to Google just serves to highlight and reiterate the point that YouTube was created for money ultimately Furthermore, YouTube has no ethics. Many YouTube clips consist of copyrighted materials. It infringed copyright rules by using clips owned by others, the most popular one being Viacom and putting them up on its own site. By taking others’ clips and assuming it to be one’s own or using it without seeking their permission is direct violation of the laws which govern the world today. Such actions can definitely not be condoned.
