It was founded by programming students Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim; the idea came to Karim when he had trouble finding clips of two major events in early 2. The South Asian tsunami and later Janet Jackson's Wardrobe Malfunction at that year's Super Bowl halftime show. Yes, Janet Jackson's exposed nipple helped lead to the creation of You. Tube. Prior to Google's purchase of the company in November 2. You. Tube was a much smaller place.
It hosted communication between individuals, who used it visually in otherwise the same manner as they had previously used Usenet or IRC. You.

There's been a serious and somewhat harsh crackdown on copyright infringement over the past couple of years; expect to click to see a video, such as an Abridged Series, only to find there's no audio, but the video is still intact (for the moment) along with a large amount of rage in the comments section, and maybe a Samaritan posting a link to some foreign site unaffected by American law (or it's another site forcing you to take a survey to watch a video that's impossible to see anywhere else).

Tube after all. You. Tube has basically held to the standard that they're not liable for user- supplied content, and because they do promptly remove clips when a copyright infringement notice is received, the courts have agreed with them.
