In this practical, we are told to discuss about YouTube.



Why is YouTube so popular and what are the current problems which YouTube faces.



I think one main reason why YouTube is so popular is that YouTube is FREEEEEEEE!

If YouTube is not free, i think YouTube's popularity will go straight down as there are other popular social websites that are as good and free.



Copyright issue was dicussed by the class as it is the main issue YouTube is facing. Several companies have had already issued warnings and unhappiness towards YouTube due to copyright issues. It has been discussed that its possible for YouTube to lose popularity because of copyright issues. However, if we were to remove all the copyrighted materials, users may stop viewing their site.



One possible approach towards this problem is that we can put up warning signs before users load their videos to the internet or bann/suspend users who are caught for multiple acts of uploading copyright issues.



Well, regardless of how YouTube manages the copyright issues, as long as its free, i guess no one will mind viewing videos from YouTube!
