I believe google plans on using an ad revenue share. So x% of whatever add revenue generated during copyrighted material display go's to so-in-so contractee. In this way it remains profitable for google, and provides additional profit to copyright holders.
but if you take everything down that people go there for, ad revenue wont be there and youtube will just go away like all these other sites that were good until money came along and ruined them.

Of course, there will always be copyright holders who foam at the mouth whenever they see anything resembling their work online.

And there will be copyright owners who just don't care for the most part. Like Weird Al. After AOL balked at the "World Premiere" for his White & Nerdy video due to it being leaked on YouTube, he simply linked to the YouTube version from his site. The consequence was, tons of people (me for one) loved seeing the video and rushed out to buy his CD. (Ok, I haven't bought the CD yet, but it is on my "must buy" list and that's tough for a CD to get on. Few new CDs make it.)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17124620 Fri, 20 Oct 2006 16:48:48 EDT Re: If it can't survive w/o breaking law - good riddance http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17124582 Ahrenl : I believe google plans on using an ad revenue share.

Does it matter? Two boys make a site, site becomes popular, site is sold, two boys make a billion - site is killed for what it was (like so many sites are) boys are still rich.

I wonder if the founders, at this point, care. :)

YouTube and Google already have great name recognition. Imagine if you could see a music video on YouTube (compressed for the web, of course) and then click on a link to buy the DVD of the video, or the CD of the album. Or, imagine being able to see a small scene of a movie on YouTube and then having a link to click for the movie.

Perhaps the music industry could even legitimize the fan made music videos that exist on YouTube by getting Google to put up "Buy This Song" links to Amazon, iTunes, Napster, wherever. This way, fans could still be creative with the music and the recording industry would get some money flow from it. The music industry could think of it as free promotion of the songs instead of thinking of it as piracy. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17123387 Fri, 20 Oct 2006 13:21:02 EDT Re: If it can't survive w/o breaking law - good riddance http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17123248 Matt :

Yes, but will other people watch them? Probably not.

Less eyes means less advertising revenue.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17123248 Fri, 20 Oct 2006 12:52:14 EDT If it can't survive w/o breaking law - good riddance http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17123239 TKJunkMail : But it will survive, because Google will sign deals compensating music and movie and TV companies to keep their products online.
