To Warners: Work out some kind of licensing arrangement with sites like YouTube the way VHS and DVD machine manufacturers did in the early 80's and mid 90's. For heavens sake, can some adults please get involved in this? I'm refering to Warners, for I am sure YouTube attempted to reach a reasonable settlement. The above writer is correct.
