YouTube

YouTube is a massively popular video website, hosting videos on any subject imaginable.

It is one of the most popular locations to upload fan videos to, although some varieties, such as mashups, run the risk of receiving copyright strikes, which can render videos inaccessible. This issue can be encountered both via the website automatically detecting copyrighted content, as well as via fellow users reporting the video. In order to dodge this issue, mashup editors may alter the speed and/or pitch of the audio used, and even refuse to mention its origin.
