>>>Based on your logic we shouldn't arrest shoplifters either because it might build a bigger user base of Twinkie's, Pringles and Polo shirts.

Competely different than shoplifting. You only get small segments, usually of poor qaulity in a few hundred pixles wide. Compared to the quality of the real product, delivered by satellite or cable. What would you rather watch?

Same as the old days when we used to tape music from fm radio and make copies, a poor reproduction.

I bet nobody has suffered financial loss because of youtube. Shoplifting on the other hand, comes right off the bottom line.
