GreedTube, the YouTube clone than paid users a share of the Adsense revenue, was taken down by YouTube fairly rapidly. Today another one has sprung up: PhilTube appears to be a videoblog that takes inspiration from The Office, with comedy sketches filmed in a documentary style. But the most remarkable thing is how closely they've mirrored YouTube, with the same layout, rating system, comments, recommended videos and the rest (perhaps they copied the css?). The player is also identical, with a PhilTube skin rather than a YouTube one. They're trying to make money by selling t-shirts and a much sought-after PhilTube hat.
