A friend of mine reciently recieved an e-mail from the Judicial Affairs office on campus reguarding her illegal downloading habit. Her music collection has been primarily downloaded on the free music sharing website Ares. This type of downloading has been clearly expressed to the public that it is illegal and there are consequences if caught downloading. However on video sharing websites like Youtube many of the videos shared are violating copyright laws when being posted to the public without permission or recognition of the rightful owner. I see this specifically in music videos being shared. Take a look at this Nelly Furtado video, it's from the mtv.com website promoting its viewers to vote her video on TRL. However, it is being shared on Youtube by a private user.
