Oh... so sad that I'm a loyal fan of Japanese television show with crazy and hillarous acts. Yutube try to make everything legal but how legal could it be? Even in our daily life we also directly and indirectly do something "illegal" such as download movie and music. It's very tough to be "legal" in the virtual world.
