YouTube Friend Or Foe Of Hollywood?

Hollywood is having a hell of a time trying to figure out if they love YouTube or hate it. On the one hand they hate the fact that its copyrighted material posted all over the site. On the other hand, they like the free publicity and buzz generated by the site.

The company asked YouTube to take down the clips after it learned of them from a reporter. It was not the first time. NBC Universal has three employees who troll the site every day looking for studio-owned material, and they send more than 1,000 such requests a month to YouTube.
