Read the full post for analysis of YouTube's licensing update. Excerpt:
For those who live under rocks, YouTube is at present the most successful web site solely devoted to hosting video submitted by its members.

But who actually owns those tens of thousands of short clips of friends doing the samba or falling off motorcycles?
