So how do you pirate a Youtube link?
- cplease 11y ago
  "Link to an unauthorized copy on Youtube." Feel better?
  - cft 11y ago
    Unauthorized by whom? You should contact the copyright owner and alert them of the infringement then!

It's not freely available if they are not free to copy... and I really wonder who could possibly be harmed by copying these videos around. I can't imagine that Milnor would object to having his work widely disseminated. Do you think if we copy something he made 50 years ago (which really should be in the public domain by now), he'll be less motivated to generate new lectures at his 84 years of age? Your usage of the term "pirated" seems to indicate more indignation than is in order.

  Yes, it is called "free as in beer".

    It's not even free beer. If I go to an event and get a free beer, I'm not forbidden from giving my free beer to anyone else. It is ridiculous that we are forbidden from sharing a video that was created 50 years ago just because Disney wants to make sure Mickey Mouse never falls out of copyright.
