Suppose a member of al Qaeda posts a video on YouTube that shows how to make an IED (improvised explosive device) out of common household cleaning detergents and a piece of pipe. Before YouTube can take down the video, a young man uses the instructions to carry out a terrorist attack during a high school basketball game.

Do you think YouTube, as a corporate “person,” could be charged with providing material support to al Qaeda, a terrorist organization? Should the company be so charged? Explain your answers.
