Isn't wrong to link to or imbed them here as well? Isn't there a moral issue with this?
Is it immoral to record a movie on your TV set? Youtube--at least at the basic levels--precludes the ability to copy the information onto a DVD or Ipod. So I would argue that taping a tv show is more of a copyright violation than linking to youtube.

Also, not all youtube stuff is ripped from other movies. Some could be homemade, etc.
