Comments on: Paying YouTube content creators easier said than done

CEO Hurley said the site will compensate video creators, but copyright issues and YouTube's huge inventory complicate the plan.

DRM for online video?

A major reason going for anti-DRM, is that "I paid for the content, i can do whatever i want to."
In this case there was no paid content, can DRM in certain form be justified much like pictures on certain websites that cannot be downloaded onto the desktop?

You already have it

The biggest problem with DRM is that it is ultimately ineffective in reducing piracy while inconveniencing legitimate users. I don't think that the fact that the content is free necessarily justifies DRM, but it may be used by someone else to justify it.

Those websites that try to prevent one from downloading pictures onto the desktop are perhaps the most peculiar because the picture is already downloaded when one views the webpage containing the picture. Obtaining the picture from the browser's cache is almost trivial. I've never understood why this is an issue to begin with (thinking of Flickr).

Blech. Who cares about a flood of pointless amateur cliplets?

Who the heck watches this crap? Why not find a better use for your time, like mouthing off on CNet or downloading porn, or fixating on media personalities?

Myspace still blocking revver embeds

Myspace still won't let you embed from revver like you would youtube. Their code blocks it out completely, as it it deletes the domain reference from the posted code.

Sounds like myspace is lining up their own thing.

Paying YouTube content creators easier said than done

If Youtube shares revenue with video posters then I believe it will be a win win situation for both Youtube and Video Posters.
