　　However, YouTube has run into problems regarding copyright infringement as many of the clips uploaded to the site have been ripped from television or DVD.

　　2006年，那些在互联网上展示用户自制视频剪辑的网站取得了惊人的成功。不过，其中最为成功的还是要属YouTube，在几个月里头就一下蹿升为全世界最受欢迎的站点之一。

　　YouTube是一个免费网站，网友们除了可以观看视频之外，还可以上传，与别人分享视频剪辑。而且，每天有超过1亿个视频剪辑被浏览，还有65000个新的视频剪辑被上传。

　　网友们上传的视频剪辑，有很多都是从电视或DVD光盘上翻刻下来的，这就使YouTube涉及到了侵犯版权的问题。
