You're making the paper producer liable for what someone writes on it.

using your analogy, youtube would be the paper maker and most importantly, the newspaper that publishes those words.

rightly, they're going after the newspaper.

it's disingenuous to suggest youtube only makes tools for video content distribution whilst omitting the fact that they are the only consumers of those tools.

Do you think that if I wrote a Letter to the Editor of the Times that included plagiarised content, that they could, should and would detect that prior to publishing?
