Victor Keegan has the best lines I have read about the GoogTube deal: “Content is king, but the king has yet to be voted a stipend …

The curious thing about YouTube is that the people who ought to be paid (individual content creators) aren’t actually campaigning for it, while corporate providers are threatening legal action over clips pirated on YouTube – even though normally they are only too happy to pay a media platform to show clips of films or TV shows to generate interest in watching the whole thing or buying it as a DVD.”

While this is wryly humorous … I’ve posted a number of home videos on YouTube and am more than happy to have them make $.01 / page view in exchange for their hosting service.
