      So if FailBlog makes about 2 grand a day in YouTube revenue for posting other people's videos, then why can't someone just make their own FailBlog?

      In other words, someone could simply download all of FailBlog's videos, and remove their logo, and publish the videos on youtube as their own.

      Afterall, FailBlog doesn't own the videos anyway.

      Neither YouTube nor FailBlog seems keen on vetting videos - to see the rightful owner.

      Yet they are happy to both profit from videos of ambiguous ownership.

      Or, even, unambigous ownership. e.g. its obvious failblog doesnt own this media
