- nope - they only count unique IPs and full views (0+ / 0-)
  
  so it's hard to inflate the count. If anything, it's undercounting, because multiple people watching it from the same computer count as one view, and partial views don't count.
  
  Don't call him "McLame": call McCain John Sidney McCain, III to help sink in the fact that he's out of touch.

    So anyone who started the video, paused it, and then used something to download the FLV for local viewing did not count as a view?

    - Not sure about that case, but that's more rare (0+ / 0-)

  - Another issue too (0+ / 0-)
    
    Some colleges and university networks label whole buildings or all of campus as being the same IP address to anyone online outside the local network.
    
    It's possible that entire colleges' worth of students are being counted as only one or two unique views by youtube's counting method.
