    While away on holidays we spotted two young guys that we recognised from youtube. They do reviews of themeparks in europe and upload them to youtube, they get paid 500 sterling a month for their vids and have a good fan base.

    By copying I was thinking more of the videos that are popular at the time

    There was a gorgeous video of a penguin in a zoo in Ohio and people were copying the video and giving no credit to the zookeeper. So she got fewer views and was upset over it

    Or the man with the golden voice. That story belonged to a news channel and countless different channels copied it.

    It's a bit annoying when you search and find twenty copies of the same video

    Youtube should crack down on it and only the original uploader gets to use it
    Yeah that is annoying but I suppose it would really be up to the copyright holder to bring those people to youtubes attention so the offenders account can be shut down.

    I used to wonder why people copied popular videos and put them up on their own channel

    Emails going around? ... I imagine this is the YouTube Partners Program, right?

    I looked into it last year. It works out at every 1000 video hits you make $1.50. You get more if people click the advert in the video. But its said the ratio of people that click advertisements is 1 out of every 33 people. But in fairness, I reckon its close to 1 out of every 100.

    So think about it, it order to make $20 you'd have to have 20,000 watching it. Sounds easier said than done as you cant just put something up that is copyrighted.

    And in order to become a Youtube Partner you already have to of had a few of your videos that have reached a certain hit count.
