What's interesting about that is even a video that was viral by 2005 standards still did not generate enough attention to drive the content owner to cry infringement. It was not until YouTube created the environment and the buzz for videos to get such massive traffic, and began to generate revenue from that traffic, that copyright holders have been moved to act.
