YouTube MyTube

First, let's entertain this question, posed by always nail-on, satirical webcomic, The Joy of Tech.

Cringely delves into new YouTube licensing agreement and comes out with the seemingly obvious answer: what goes on the Net stays on the Net. "Under this new license, then, it would seem that they could produce a Best of YouTube DVD and sell it on late night TV. They could take your musical performance, strip the audio from the video, and sell it to almost anyone for almost any use. They could refuse to take down your video, no matter how embarrassing. They could charge YOU for your own video. And of course they could insert ads in the video virtually anywhere." I once entertained the thought of putting my reels and short films on YouTube to save bandwidth fee, but I won't bother no more. Creative asset is all I got at this point and I need to carefully orchestrate its release and distribution, even if I'm giving it up for free.
