i fully understand that , what you fail to understand is thats exactly what im doing , nothing different than YOUTUBE , the only difference is in your own slanted perception

youtube google images google videos geocities ALL do exactly what you just described to the T. the only difference is I DONT ALTER THE CONTENT IN ANY WAY

exact;y , you can call it something else if you want to but legally its a hosting service , no different than youtube , the only difference is in your perception

exactly , you would rather let big companies with clout like youtube make billions while you "watch and see".. the PIONEERS in the industry are using my method.. meanwhile peope like you and i are left in the dust with our "ethics" in our hand.

i totally agree with you there, but this is the new frontier.. follow the old rules and get left in the dust.. follow the big boys and make big $

your contradicting yourself .. and making silly statements. NOWHERE is there any egislation that saus one must have a "large staff" . i think your having trouble with math. I HAVE WAY MORE EMPLOYEES PER CONTENT THUS I CAN BE MORE EFFECTVE
