YouTube Authorship
YouTube is essentially an interactive internet television of sorts. You can watch a video on essentially any topic you can think of and all the videos are somewhat user generated. I call it a television of sorts, because there are still advertisements. They pop up at the bottom of the video screen and on the sides of the web page your viewing. Initially Youtube was the "go-to" website for posting videos on the internet, now with developments in music copyright agreements and increasing popularity people are choosing to post their videos on other websites such as Vimeo that have fewer rules. YouTube relys on its members to act as authors, but if they keep restricting their member's authorship rights then they will suffer greatly in the long run.
