If you remove the hyperized hyperbole from your argument, the fact...I said fact...remains that YouTube is not primarily copyright violating content. If every video that actually - note I said actually, not "potentially" - violated copyright was removed, there would still be millions of videos to watch and embed and have fun with.

The real reason YouTube may die is that bandwidth bill. They still haven't figured out a way to monetize it.

I agree with #1, podcasting is far more than downloading. From the culture (and there is one) to the process, it's a label that describes the entire process. Downloading is downloading. You download podcasts. Podcasters create and distribute original recorded content in a non-linear manner through syndication. In otherwords, they podcast.

Now, if you don't mind, I have to go xerox the manual for my vac so I can hoover the floor properly while I TiVo "Lost" re-runs. :)

"Anyway, "South Park Republicans" is a term coined because of the book. In was in vogue for about 20 minutes and has since rightfully gone away. It certainly was not the other way around."

Yeah, you might want to check your attitude before you lecture others, genius. The term was around for two years before Brian stole it for a book that has nothing to do with actual SPR philosophy.
