Please raise your hand if you don't know how the internet works. No, not you Mr. Attorney General, I meant everyone else. :rolleyes:

“As we understand the process, video producers are asked prior to posting whether they will allow YouTube to host advertising with the video and, for those who consent, the advertising revenue is shared between the producer and Google,” Bruning and Pruitt write. “While this practice itself is not troubling, we were disappointed to learn that many such monetized videos posted to YouTube depict or even promote dangerous or illegal activities.”

OMG!!! You mean YouTube is just like the 200 different Reality TV shows where people do dumb/illegal stuff get viewers/revenue?
 
Yeah when criminals post their video online what can the justice department do seize assets from showing these activities online. Any half wit can convict people, posting these activities online should make tracking these people a lot easier.

I'm baffled about this statement...

Read the article. It's about using Youtube for advertising the illegal sales of prescription drugs and counterfeit merchandise.
