here the community system is different. the broadcaster is still responsible for content, though like the US system anyone can come and pitch shows/content. It is like editors ot the editor. the editor and the newspaper owner is responsible for what is published even if it is a letter to the editor. > >The point of all this background information is to set up the fact >that there isn't anyone screening these videos for content.

The only problem I have with these things is that if you do this to others content you can hardly complain when someone does it to yours. For example on this list there have been numerous examples of third party sites aggregating other people's video without credit, etc. But if in your videos you have been reusing others material without a licence, I think you're in a glass house throwing stones :-) > >Meanwhile, I've been to parties that were COMPLETELY VJed from >YouTube.
