These discussions quickly become like political arguments with everyone convinced the other side is reaally baad, so I will steer clear of them since they are pointless. In politics elections decide the issues, in these arguments popular opinion will decide...

I singled out YouTube simply for expediency, referring to a website that encourages people to share things that are not originally theirs, possibly without regard to the wishes of the creator.
I actually don't know who used "Rip, mix, burn" as a slogan, though I have heard the phrase (somewhere... probably here). You notice, though, that the word "steal" is not included among them!
You're right, it can be politically charged... that's why I asked for some clarification on a few points above. After all, I've been "shocked" by that particular wire once already, and it still smarts...
