Some of those videos likely infringe on existing intellectual property rights. In his  Regulation  cover article , law professor Jonathan Barnett argues that protections for intellectual property, including on platforms like YouTube, have become too weakened. That has resulted in a massive redistribution of wealth from IP holders to online platforms and users.
