I've asked several IT people why no one's ever launched any ACTUAL COMPETITION for yt, & here's what they consistently tell me:
Apparently they've locked in the copyrights to "Intellectual Property" that is a key element for presenting content in a way that's easily searchable & accessible. They also hold copyrights on formats similar to Facebook -- systems that people are now so used to, introducing a new way to "approach" content, seems unfeasible or pointless.
"COPYRIGHTS" & "INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY" TRULY ARE THE INVISIBLE CHAINS THAT BIND US.
Most people don't realize that there's an undeniable connection between "COPYRIGHT" & "THE EUROPEAN COLONIZATION OF OUR COUNTRY" ...
ST. COLUMBO -- an IRISH clergyman, went to SCOTLAND & settled in IONA -- TO CONVERT THE (pagan) PICTS. (Which the Picts probably didn't appreciate, despite wiki's claim that they "revered him & his god". The Picts are now considered "extinct" -- so Christianity doesn't seem to have helped them ... )
In 560, COLUMBA secretly copied a psalter (Book of Psalms), & when (St.) Finnian caught him, an argument arose over WHO WAS ALLOWED OWNERSHIP OF A COPIED BOOK.
DIARMAIT, the "Last King Of Tara" (thanks to COLUMBA), settled the dispute -- perhaps the first "Copyright Case" in known history. He ruled in favor of Finnian, proclaiming: "To each cow it's calf, to each book it's copy."
Not happy about that, COLUMBA riled up the Ui NEILL (O'NEAL) CLAN, & they set about overthrowing the king, their decisive victory coming in 561, at "THE BATTLE OF THE BOOK" -- which killed an estimated 3,000 people.
(Does that not perfectly describe "religion"? A man steals a book, 3,000 people die, & they make HIM a "saint"!) BTW: COLUMBA was born 12/7/521 (sums to 18) ... a date I thought you'd appreciate! I was relistening to your Jan. 7 talk on Jeff Young's show while writing this, & you mentioned that 12/7 was your sister's birthdate -- haha, synchronicity!! He died: 6/9/597 (sums to 39)
For many reasons, I think a LOT of this history has been monkeyed with -- but one item REALLY stood out ... the phrasing of the ruling: "To every cow ... etc." is virtually a word-for-word ruling from THE TALMUD, or Jewish Book of Laws. (Here we go again ... ) [It also seems "copyright issues" were never a big deal until the 1800s, so it's very possible this whole story about "Columba & The Book" was invented -- to make a hero out of him, & to make people believe that this concept was nothing new ... ]
Nevertheless, the links between COLUMBA & COPYRIGHT are still relevant to Americans, considering how we CELEBRATE COLUMBUS DAY, despite the whole "Christopher Columbus Story" having murky, unverifiable origins. And it's the U.S. who's turned "Copyright Infringement" into a global issue.
My gut tells me that the COLUMBUS/COLUMBIA revered in this country has MUCH MORE TO DO WITH THE "IRISH/SCOTTISH/JEWISH" COLUMBA -- than the myths we've been fed about an illiterate Italian out to impress Queen Isabella.
[Didn't intend to get so far off topic, but the fact that there AREN'T SEVERAL YouTubes -- like the original TV channels -- has always irked me. Finding out it was due to COPYRIGHT of a methodology & an ALLOWED monopolization -- has had me pissed me off ever since. Thank's for providing a sounding board where I could vent my steam!] lol ;D :D

A M also refers to ACCEPTED MASONS ... (as in F & AM). Been wondering if a new branch has emerged -- perhaps INDEPENDENT or ISRAELI?
