American economy with the likes of youtube and facebook are built on copying and stealing copyrighted video and audio. That's literally how youtube captured all the users: become the go-to place for anyone to upload videos, also spreading copies of music videos.

Facebook captures a lot of video viewers by not controlling video sources either in a similar way.

There’s no evidence that they are doing that intentionally or deliberately. Sure some creators do that.

It's called having good lawyers unlike rapidshare style hosters. At the end of the day getting mad about file hosting is retarded.

Sure there are. There was a huge uproar on Facebook on how if you shared a video Facebook itself would show it from Facebook, not link the original source. That is 100% intentionally and deliberately. American companies are absolutely no better. If anything they are worse.
