I think there is nothing wrong with sampling off youtube, but you gotta obey the code which is this:

1) If sampling off youtube, you are officially obligated to make one of those horrible "Beatmaking on the MPC ______" vids using the same sample you jacked off youtube.

2) The video must be made in response to the sample vid.

3) You must jump around to the beat you made and look like a real dork.

4) If some really dumb cats still can't figure out what you sampled...you cannot say what the sample is. You must let them get frustrated enough that they flood the Crate Diggers forum with "What was sampled in this youtube video, yo?" questions.

vinyl is sweet love and hot sex (sampling) with your girlfriend you know and trust.
Sampling an MP3 DL from e.g. Limewire is like having sex (sampling) with the neighbourhood ho or cheating on your sweet beautiful gf (vinyl). You know it ain't right but sh*t you couldn't resist. You want sex (samples) and you want it now. You don't know how many people have hit it tho and she isn't exactly of the highest quality. You don't want the gf to know you going out hittin' other women (DL mp3s from Itunes). keep it secret (play that sh*t using serato)
Youtube is the equivalent of picking up a prostitute. Low quality and every motherf*cker in the county has hit that azz. Openly say you having sex (samples) off Prostitutes and you won't be getting much respect from people. Keep it to yourself. Youtube is one big red light district.
