  Do you think they could be prepared in advance for this kind of attack? Maybe, but you are not the man in the arena. I don't know for certain, but I know at least one engineer on the youtube team and I'm willing to bet that they're frantically writing software to match a new and painful set of assumptions about how the world works.

    > Do you think they could be prepared in advance for this kind of attack? This is not a new attack in either type or scope. It's merely more visible. > How are you helping? Not at all. I don't benefit from YouTube's business model so why do you think that I have some obligation to help YouTube? Of course, since you think that I have some obligation, you surely do. What are you doing besides attacking people who point out that this is a foreseeable consequences of YT's business decisions?
