I hope the whole system fails after some corporation sues them. They should be monitoring this but are allowing a wild wild west to take place. It's disgusting

have you looked at the content being placed on d.tube ? Also community will downvote pirated content, so "quote" Assholes "quote end" won't make money of pirated content.

@roelandp - I already see some dude making $3 from an episode of The Office. $3 might not be a lot to some, but for others it can make a difference. I will downvote them all though, thanks man

Please do downvote ALL pirated and copyright infringed videos. The problem though is that not all copyright infringements are easy to spot, and sometimes it can be a legitimate owner of a Youtube channel reposting their content on Dtube, and you should not penalize them because you did not realize it was their own original content.

I guess all legitimate youtubers should make their account names match their youtube channel names, and mention in their video description that it is in fact their own original content.

You are talking about .00000001 % of the community here. If pirated and copyrighted content was well rewarded, that's what the majority of Steemit would be. It's NOT.
