YouTube is not a real business - The Jason Calacanis Weblog

I know this a few days old, but there's been so much discussion about it, and i have just gotten caught up. This is one of those great 'jason' moments where he says something that people are saying, quietly - but he puts it in writing.

The thing i'd ad is that YouTube proves that people are willing to both post and watch video on the web in a big way. And that the sharing is part of a new viral sharing experience that is taking root. What i think is likely to happen next is that you'll see that copyright owners will become more protective, and UGC creators will become more creative and prolific. The question is - will people share 'discovered' video with as much energy and drive as they do so-called 'bootleg' video. I'd say the answer is yes. It's about the sharing, not about an SNL skit. Hey, it wasn't even that funny.
