Do a google search for Lazy Sunday and YouTube is #1. Do a search for almost any video and you'll find YouTube has a stolen copy... stealing a ton of videos (or enabling folks to do so) wll shoot anyone to the top of Alexa's ranking. You can try this by starting a website called "SNLclips.com" and do a blog post per video clip you liberate from your Tivo. In a couple of months you'll be getting millions of page views a month. Flickr is different since the majority of the images are--in fact--owned by the people who posted them.
