At that time, You Tube had released a localized version of its site, apparently as a beta test.

Watch out for the first large hedge fund unable to make payment and not have a bail out partner (aka Bear Stearns). You guys think these leverage players can keep the value of the underlineing assets up over time?

Years ago, I read a comic strip, "B.C." I think, in which a man explained to a woman that the goal in golf was to hit the ball as few times as possible. The woman replied, "Then why do it at all?" We might be seeing something like that here. Copyrighted content will be uploaded. No major Japanese media outlet will let the material they pay to distribute for free be redistributed for free at no cost to them, so they will file blanket complaints, and YouTube Japan will immediately remove all such material. The most efficient way to deal with the issue would be to not make YouTube Japan in the first place. This could be a great efficiency conundrum.

They don't seem to have anyone on hand or any interest in actually checking into such things - maybe it's just too time consuming. I suspect that the You Tube Japan site will just have people upload copyrighted content on one end and someone deleting it on the other.

Seriously though - why would YouTube make a Japanese version? Not like they’ve had trouble attracting Japanese users.
