Copyright Killed the YouTube Car?
If you're like me, you remember the original Napster with great fondness as a technology that worked incredibly well until it, uh, got evicerated. The new, improved corporate version is the same only in name (although it is trying hard).
Could it be that YouTube is destined for the same fate?
