I've been thinking of making a video sharing website like youtube. I would probably name it uketube. Would anyone be interested?

I think it's a solution in search of a problem.
YouTube is the de facto standard for video sharing.
You're essentially looking to build a walled garden. When most performers want to get their music out to the widest possible audience.
I for one will stick with YouTube.
Pretty soon, we're going to be arrested for humming our fave tunes in the street. "Halt,you! That's ROLLING IN THE DEEP! DID YOU GET A RELEASE FROM ASCAP?!!"
I have a baptismal certificate and my soul belongs to Jesus, so that's entirely within the law. As to the "Rolling in the Deep" cover, it would seem in copyright law, persiflage (or parody) is covered as fair usage (my lawyer Weird Al Rabinowitz tells me this.) So as long as you change the words, you are cool. So I sing a hit such as Journey's I wanna know what love is as "I wanna know where my glove is.. I want you to show me. I left them on your car seat. I know you can show me."
Parody is still covered in the US...(1994 Supreme Court decision.)
