Whether you are a musician waiting to be heard, an actor to be discovered or you just want to share the latest video you filmed with your friends; you can do it at YouTube. Their motto is “Broadcast Yourself”, which you can do after filling out a simple registration form. Once you’ve registered, you will be able to upload all the videos you want for free, join contests and comment on other users´ videos. However, if you just want to watch videos, registration is not mandatory, the downloading only lasts seconds. You’ll be ale to watch videos featuring artists such as U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Madonna, Rihanna or even your local rock band, you can also watch movies, although not entirely on one window, since its reproduction is forbidden by law, you have to open several windows. Finally, you will also be able to participate in contests where you can win prizes such as trips around the world, to direct the RHCP’s latest video or a trip to Los Angeles to lay the drums with Travis Barker, all by just submitting an original video.
