As the Internet continues to grow, more and more people are turning away from newspapers and TV. Instead, they rely on the Internet as their main source of information. In the past few years, every big media company from MTV to CNN has begun to provide online video clips for the public. Now, everyone can catch the latest news, sports events, movie previews, and more with a click of the mouse.

Up until recently, this online technology was reserved only for skilled people with ultra-high speed web access. However, with the advent of cell phone video cameras and various video-sharing websites, it has become much easier for everyday people to display their filmmaking ability on the Internet. Most of these websites are totally free, and allow users to upload short clips that are viewable by the public. In addition, it is fast and simple to pass along videos to your friends. All you have to do is copy a link in an email or embed the video in a webpage.

But not everyone is happy with the recent video-sharing craze on the web. Not surprisingly, the content that people upload extends well beyond the realm of personal home videos; some of the videos may have inappropriate or even illegal content. Although many of these sites contain filters to control the spread of copyrighted or obscene material, with thousands of different videos being uploaded every day, it is difficult for these website owners to maintain control over what is posted. They often only restrict certain videos when an offense has been brought to their attention by outside sources.

中文翻譯

隨著因特網(wǎng)不斷成長(zhǎng)，越來(lái)越多人不再看報(bào)紙和電視。這些人轉(zhuǎn)而依賴網(wǎng)絡(luò)作為主要的信息來(lái)源。過(guò)去幾年來(lái)，像MTV 和 CNN 等大型媒體都開(kāi)始提供在線短片供大眾觀賞。現(xiàn)在，只要按一下鼠標(biāo)就可以得知最新的新聞、運(yùn)動(dòng)賽事、和電影預(yù)告等種種訊息。

直到最近這在線科技都只限于大頻寬的技術(shù)人員能夠使用。然而，隨著有錄像功能的手機(jī)和各式各樣的影片分享網(wǎng)站出現(xiàn)，要在網(wǎng)上展現(xiàn)制片技巧越來(lái)越容易了。這些網(wǎng)站大多都是免費(fèi)的，并且可讓使用者上傳短片供大眾欣賞。此外，要將影片傳給朋友也是快速又簡(jiǎn)單的事：只要復(fù)制連結(jié)到電子郵件 中，或是把影片內(nèi)嵌在網(wǎng)頁(yè)即可。

但并不是人人都對(duì)近來(lái)網(wǎng)絡(luò)上影片分享的熱潮感到高興。這并不令人吃驚，因?yàn)榫W(wǎng)友上傳的內(nèi)容已經(jīng)大大超過(guò)了家庭影片的范疇;有些影片可能包含不恰當(dāng)或甚至不合法的內(nèi)容。雖然許多這類(lèi)型的網(wǎng)站都有篩選機(jī)制來(lái)控管有版權(quán)或猥褻影片的散布，但是每天仍有上千部影片上傳，對(duì)這些網(wǎng)站管理人而言，想要控制張貼的內(nèi)容實(shí)在是太困難了。通常只有在觸怒外界而引起他們注意時(shí)才會(huì)把某些影片移除。
