YouTube is a web site where users are able to upload videos to their own account and share them with the community. One does not need a YouTube account in order to watch videos on the site. Users are able to rate, favorite, comment, and "flag" videos for inappropriate content.
Outside of the normal user account, is the Director account, which grants the user special abilities, such as being able to post videos longer than that allowed to the regular user. You're also allowed to have a customized badge, and your username displays Director underneath at all times.
YouTube has a strict copyright policy and does not allow for any copyrighted material to be uploaded to the site. If such videos are found they are immediately taken down and the user who posted the video can potentially have their account frozen.
