Currently, based on traffic, YouTube is the leader of the pack (more heavily visited MSN Video does not support user-uploaded videos), but Digital Video Guru blog awards Vimeo for fastest uploads, JumpCut for editing, and YouTube for community features."

Yeah sure, the sites don't scrape videos, people do it for them. Same difference. I know at least one videographer who created some original videos, posted them on his own site, they reappeared on iFilm a few weeks later. He put his website's address in the videos, but someone cut off the beginning and ending, deliberately removing the URL. It's getting so you'll have to put up a huge watermark across your video if you want to get any credit for it. This isn't such a big deal when you're posting some pirated music videos to YouTube, but for those of us who create new original video content, it is a bit galling to see our work reposted and stripped of any credit to the authors.

Ahhh... hypocrisy at its finest. "It's okay to do it to others, but not to me - because my content is special"

which site is the youtube of Pr0n?

The "youtube" of Pr0n would be your penis, sir. Try googling first, and if you still don't see it just start browsing around sites near your inner thighs.
