From the perspective of consumer, myself, I would say that I prefer YouTube. Actually, I had never viewed YouTube's website until I came to the U.S. because it was banned in Thailand. Living in the U.S. is quite hard for me to get my favourite Thai variety shows; however, YouTube has changed this situation. It make me easier to get what I want without spending time searching for those VDOs; it seems like YouTube is one stop service for all VDOs. There are variety of VDO clips in YouTube; for example, musics, variety shows, movies, cartoons, or even news. What I like the most is all those clips are available in Thai version. I would recommend all you guys to try searching for "crayon chin jung." This is my favourite cartoon and I believe it can make you smile. It is the example of Japanese cartoons that can be available in many versions, such as, Japanese, Chinese, Thai, and English.
One thing I observe is that some VDO clips, the entire version, in YouTube can be free accessed on other websites, especially in websites of copyright holders themselves. Therefore, I wonder if it is possible that some of the copyright holders may post those clips in YouTube; one reason is that YouTube is such a huge market. There are over a million viewers visit YouTube everyday. So, YouTube may be another way that the copyright holders can promote their works without any advertising fees.
One thing that I don't like in YouTube is some clips that violated privacy. Even this issue is not copyright, it is quite important that one, espectially women, shouldn't be recorded in VDO clips and post in internet.
