All of this outrage at Facebook doing what Youtube already did[1] is difficult to fathom. A new entrant to a business domain will look to their more-established competitors to learn lessons of what works and doesn't. They may disagree and look to differentiate themselves on some of the points, but overall it would be silly to suggest otherwise. If this was a mistake that youtube made and facebook duplicated, people (especially stockholders) would have quite fathomable outrage at facebook. Youtube was the first huge name in the type of video delivery that they do, so their missteps have less "should have known better" attached. So, it depends on if Facebook doing "what Youtube already did" with regard to copyrighted material is duplicating their mistake, or if Facebook is engaging in an amoral "get away with it for as long as you can" situation. In either case the outrage makes quite a bit of sense.
