Who is the source owner of the video? If the video was taken off someone else's account on YouTube, I don't see what the problem is posting to the original content owner.

A lot of people don't want to go to blogs because of malware, adware, etc.

They’re probably not bad people, and I’m not a moderator.

But it’s getting a little out of control.

There are a couple that come back day after day, posting links to sites that feature do ads, but very little in the way of original content.

I love Rush Limbaugh, for example, but one site is something like Dittos-Rush dot com, and every day the link is to a video that he (?) didn’t create. Indeed, he did not even offer a single line of follow-up commentary.

At a certain point it’s sort of abusive.

If the video is indeed funny, why not simply post a link to the YouTube video instead of some obscure blog, where they welcome hits but not the effort to cook up material?

I do not think I’m an authority, or that I can order people around, no.

If you look at the site I posted the video from you will see that they do not use Youtube as a source, so maybe it is their video, and whoever posted it to Youtube is the thief.

Besides, I just checked and found the same video on about 5 different sites that do not use an embedded code from Youtube.

The site I posted from is very reputable ande has had many articles and videos posted her by many many different freepers. From what I can tell it is a very reputable newspaper that holds the site called the Enterprise record. It is the same paper that has Anthony Watts, “Watts Up With That blog”. Rush Limbaugh talks about the guy all the time when he brings up global warming because he is a crusader fighting against it. Why would it be bad?

I looked into it and found out that the same company that the paper is owned by the same people who own the Oroville Mercury register, the Sacramento Bee, the Arkansas Gazette, the Minneapolis Tribune, etc. etc,. etc. Do you really think they are trying to infect peoples computers? If so then ban their newspaper sites also.
