The article (Sent to detention by YouTube) from the Magazine (Upfront-The New York Times) talks about how some individuals put up videos/music that does not belong to them. I agree with what they say about this not being right but I don’t agree of how they punish them. They will block the account and if the person wants to keep their account they have to take a copyright course to get it back. It’s only a five minute video and a quiz at the end. I think they are not taking the right measure to get them to stop; they could give them some jail time just like the rest of the world would do. Some places even kill those who try to do it, but that’s too far. They could even fine them for doing it; they fine individuals if you pirate movies and sell them for a profit. Even so the course is not too bad to get them to stop, but I could see some better ways to handle it.
