Thanks for the comment, Jason. I did point out that sampling only removed videos distorts the results somewhat. And I have read Shelly Palmer's piece on YouTube -- but I think that he is overstating the case somewhat, as I think you are with the bootleg DVD analogy.

In any case, thanks for commenting.

These stats are completely bogus. Henry Blodget should be embarrassed to write about them. I wouldn't be surprised if he removes the post.

You can't just count removed videos from a site that does not remove videos. It's completely ridiculous.

Listen, the nay-sayers are right about YouTube. (You should read Shelly Palmer's article on Media 3.0 -- Where's the Business?

There is no business, any different than the guy standing on the corner selling bootleg DVD's.
