The use and Impact of YouTube to the Film Industry

Founded in February 2005, YouTube is the leader in online video, and the premier destination to watch and share original videos worldwide through a Web experience. YouTube allows people to easily upload and share video clips on www.YouTube.com and across the Internet through websites, mobile devices, blogs, and email. People can see first-hand accounts of current events, find videos about their hobbies and interests, and discover the quirky and unusual.

If this is the case, and people can see newly released films, and their current favourites, then what is this doing to the cinema and film industry. People will no longer go to the cinema and pay the money to watch these, when they can get them on the internet for free. Websites like YouTube, Alluc.org and others are potentially putting the film industry at a huge risk of losing a lot of profits.
