YouTube Will Make You Watch a 5 Minute PSA if You Break Copyright Laws

You may want to rethink posting those Mad Men episodes you downloaded on YouTube—unless you are interested in spending five minutes of your life watching an animated PSA. YouTube is going to make anyone who posts a copyrighted video watch it and take a short quiz, or you won't be able to upload any more videos. Users with good standing can also erase a strike from their record by watching the vid. [YouTube Blog via Mashable]
