Is the world really worse off with Youtube the way it is? or even the way it was, without ContentID? I can't say I see the harm in some people uploading crappy copies of some videos and not making a profit on them. Content owners will always overreact even if nothing bad is happening, for example this just happened: http://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/08/09/007212/legitimate-ebo...

With videos of Curiosity being taken down for copyright infringement? With "the little guy" having to wait up to a month for anyone to prove wrongdoing, and in the meantime their video goes offline? I'd say that's pretty bad, yeah.
