Thank you for your comment,

Here at WeTube we value your thought.. oh wait, no we hate you with the burning heat
of a thousand suns.

While we know about this issue, we get more revenue from the people who abuse the
DMCA than everyday people like yourself. It’s simple accounting that we provide
tools such as this one to let you vent some steam. Seriously, why would we spend
money to fix something that’s not really all that broken, according to our lawyers.

While this ticket has been open for just a short while, this issue has been known
since before the actual DMCA tools were implemented within YouTube. We knew all
about this so-called “problem”, but it was intentionally designed and allowed to be
this way thanks to United States laws.. so quit complaining about something we pay
money to give you for “free” (well, we make you put up with ads, abusive comments and
Rickrolling of course).

Please feel free to send us mail, we love our planet and will recycle each message.

A telephone call is also an option, our answering machines are standing by.

If you would like to escalate your concern, please use one of the two above options.

yours,

WeTube

P.S. If you want actual reform, please speak with your local government
representative(s) about changes to general copyright, intellectual property and DMCA
laws in the United States and internationally. Oh, and a small piece of advice..
please be sure to have more money and manpower than all the Big Corporations and
governments in the world. We wouldn’t want you to waste additional time.
