Comments on: TV catches the Net video bug

In a role reversal, TV producers are searching the Web for hot videos.

Similar to VH1's 'Web Junk 20'?

VH1 has a new show called 'Web Junk 20' where they show the top 20 video clips found on the web that week, in conjuction with IFILM. It wasn't mentioned in the article so I was wondering if that's the kind of show you were alluding to?

Who owns the copyright?

The same companies wanting to exploit free content from the web are the ones who actively pursue people for violating copyright law.
Does a free clip they use now become copyrighted once they show it? This format will get very messy, very quickly, with the big corporations ultimately winning yet again.

Copyright

"Does a free clip they use now become copyrighted once they show it?" -- Of course not. The copyright always lies with the creator.

TV catches the Net video bug

Just one quote by Stefanie Olsen "Emerging services from Google,
Brightcove and others are delivering the tools to upload, circulate
or even sell video online"

How does she write this whole article and not mention Apple one
time?

Remarkable.

The End of Big Media

It's amazing to see how TV and the Web are starting to dance together. It won't be long before these independent production companies start producing content just for web delivery, and sign up advertisers on their own. Skip the broadcast networks, reach your audience directly - and get paid what you deserve! Sounds like a plan to me.
