| 485054 | 2006-09-23 16:10:00 | So what does U Tube do? Alex Rowland ( . com/archives/00000907 . htm" target="_blank">donatacom . com) says it sits tight until it becomes an irreplaceable part of the new video marketing and distribution model; he figures it won't be long . "YouTube hosts and streams copyrighted content," he writes . [long quote follows] "No argument . But unlike the Napster days in which there was no evidence that this type of large scale 'piracy' actually helped distribution, today the signs are everywhere . Even the marketing departments of most major studios understand this when they upload their own copyrighted material to the site . But YouTube is, in its essence, a massive syndication platform for content . YouTube is not about monetizing this content directly; it's about getting tons of people to watch a video clip at the lowest cost possible . This type of massive low-cost syndication of low-quality streamed content is less than a year away from becoming the de facto launch strategy of professional and amateur content alike . While the lawyers may not understand this yet, the marketing guys certainly do . When content owners begin taking down copyrighted materials from YouTube, they become less culturally relevant . Has Jon Stewart ( . comedycentral . com/shows/the_daily_show/index . jhtml" target="_blank">www . comedycentral . com)'s relevance and consequent profitability to the studio declined as a result of his frequent free appearances on YouTube?" |
