Why Facebook's video theft problem can't last
http://www.theverge.com/2015/8/7/9114149/facebook-freebooting-video-copyright-infringement
But that has done little to satisfy content creators,
whose support Facebook needs as it works to challenge YouTube's
dominance. Green and other video makers are increasingly
disgruntled, and Facebook's weak denials could lead to expensive
lawsuits. Meanwhile, the failure to protect against copyright
infringement could ward off the advertisers whose ads will
eventually come to Facebook video. If Facebook doesn't act
quickly, it risks alienating the two groups it needs most to
establish itself as a next-generation video platform ...
Facebook hasn't made it easy for creators like Green to find
instances of copyright infringement -- there's no way to filter
Facebook searches for videos. And even if the stolen videos can
be found, creators must fill out multiple forms, meaning it
could be several days (and countless views) before a stolen
video is taken down.

This kind of behavior by Facebook can undermine the entire ecosystem
that is critical to honest video creators.
