I was just reading the blip.tv blog and noticed that they've updated various features, and also had a post about changing their terms of service.
http://blog.blip.tv/blog/ So I was a wondering what people thought of the new features and/or terms of service. I havent been a blip user or paying enough attention to know exactly what has changed, nor read the new terms & conditions properly. But I did notice this bit in their draft of new terms: "COMMERCIAL AGGREGATION Blip.tv is designed to be technically compatible with the universe of third-party aggregation software to the greatest extent possible, and we are committed to building an open platform. Unless otherwise stated, however, you may not distribute, transmit, broadcast, commercially exploit or modify in any way the sites' material or content or permit or assist any third party in doing the same. You may not aggregate, embed or "deep-link" content on Blip.tv from your own Web site, service or platform for commercial purposes in a systematic way without the prior written consent of Blip.tv. You must at all times respect the copyright licenses attached to Blip.tv content (i.e. Creative Commons licenses) while aggregating, embedding or deep-linking Blip.tv content." I like that! Also I was looking at the blip learning centre and all those videos from Pixelodeon of people giving tips for people who may just be starting to vlog - great stuff! Inspiring! Useful, positive stuff, well done to all concerned. And oops, plenty of advice that people should just get on with it and try, advice I have failed to heed over the years, at my peril. Those people are right, dont end up like me, just do it! http://learningcenter.blip.tv/ Cheers Steve Elbows
