I have been used YouTube to upload my private video which recorded our family’s ordinary life. To be more exact, I have uploaded my 2 years daughter’s life in the U.S. Who does watch that? Of course, her grandparents in Japan have watched the videos and shared our life. Actually, YouTube have a bunch of non-infringing use. A music band uses YouTube as a promotion for their music. Someone use it for broadcasting their original programs such as short movie, news show or product review. These uses are useful not only for those who upload videos but also for those who watch it. Based on these facts, basically YouTube should be able to continue their business. However, in order to continue their business without any conflicts with copyright owners, YouTube should clearly express their intention to exclude infringing use and do some effective actions with copyright owners. In my point of view, if YouTube's business substantially depends on infringing use, YouTube should be banned. Though YouTube take some actions to exclude infringing use, for example, they have adopted restriction for uploading that videos must be within 10 minutes, it is not sufficient to show their hatefulness against copyright infringement.
