(n.) copyrighted digital content that has been illegally obtained from the internet and then re-uploaded without the consent of the copyright owner.

(v.) the act of illegally downloading copyrighted digital content and re-uploading it to the internet without the consent of the copyright owner.

While similar to file sharing, a ripload is often uploaded for online consumption, rather than download; sometimes under the pretense of appearing as the original creator.
This guy is posing as the creator of the video, but it's clearly a ripload, it even has the original creator's logo on it.

Why would someone ripload to Youtube? Just link to the original, it's easier (and more legal) than using KeepVid or some SWF decompiler and then re-uploading it to their own account.

What's really surprising about Youtube is the amount of riploaded movie and television clips running ads. Who's approving these obvious riploads?

The most genuine person you will ever meet. Riplee is sweet and caring, the best looking guy at the bar, romantic, dreamy, loving, and just an absolute darling. But there's another side to this charmer, he's also sarcastic, feisty, and can fight! In fact, he enjoys a good fight now and again. Riplees ususally possess extraordinary musical talent, and can pretty much be a rockstar. Riplee goes very well with Jennifer
Did you see that guy at the bar last night? He was a total catch, must have been a Riplee!

Guy is often referred to as 'The Queen of Fangirls.' His catch phrase is Delicious and has openly voiced his opinion that Ryland Blackinton is a better guitar player than Michal Guy Chislett of The Academy Is... . Ripley has his own mini series on TAI TV called "Guy Ripley's True Things." He can be spotted in random places, from The Honda Civic Tour, to Leeds, UK, to The VMA's.

The best looking reporter at the BBC. He has friends in high places and the best taste in women, if he could only pluck up the courage to ask Victoria (Cobra Starship) out on a date.
