Youtube users are currently uploading an hour of content every second, or 60 hours every minute.
Assuming 0.25% of all content being uploaded is great content, that’s 3.6 hours of amazing videos every day. That’s 25.2 hours of great content per week, with the average TV viewing in a UK household somewhere between 20 and 30 hours per week.

It isn’t about piracy. It’s about copying, creating and the disruptive effects we have all had.
