- chung8123 3y agoYouTube is still based on copyright violation but there is no way to stop it so publishers play ball. There is no way music companies would allow their stuff on there for so cheap if they could stop it.

- silveira 3y agoI came here to say that. At some point I could literally what full movies on Youtube, pretty much anything I searched.
- hulitu 3y agoYou can still do it.
- jeremyjh 3y agoYoutube is paying royalties though.

But that was not the case in the beginning, before Google bought it, people uploaded content completely without any regard to intellectual property and YouTube became the dominant streaming media platform and a couple of otherwise fairly skilled but hardly exceptional software engineers were made multi-millionaires) because it was the place to get free stuff that you'd otherwise have to pay for.
- jeremyjh 3y agoYes and what we're talking about here is that the NYT is trying to get paid royalties as well, just like music & film publishers tried (successfully) to get Youtube to pay them. The long-term survival of ChatGPT may well depend on paying those royalties.
