This sucks. I'd say more than that, but I don't want to get a
reputation for boudmouthing competitors of any sort.
I think there are a few things we can do from here.
First of all, we can ban Veoh from blip. We would do this to keep
them from scraping any more blip RSS feeds (which they're obviously
doing) and to keep them from downloading anymore blip-hosted videos.
I think we would do this if the community wants us to, but not without
some consultation. Do you guys want this?
I'm also going to discuss this with blip's lawyers to see if there's
anything we can do. If any blip users have had their content stolen
by Veoh please drop me a private e-mail (mike AT blip DOT tv) and I'll
look into whether we can give you a hand with some legal measures.
Yours,
Mike

Devlon,
The big difference here is.. YouTube didn't directly and specifically
upload the content -- or create a specific system to scour for and
grab
that content. From what I can tell, Veoh did just that, no? My users
breaking a license and me knowingly doing the same thing... big
difference, and not in a positive way.
I am sorry, yes. Very good point, thanks. Getting all hopped up
over this
and not engaging brain before typing :)

Eh. It seems to me that an "infringe first, remove later" policy

really a good one.
+1. Especially if infringing was so unnecessary.
I am actually talking to my laywer about this.
Good, like I said, someone needs their hands slapped very publicly to
send a message.
NBC gets all over YouTube for the same thing. We have the same
rights.
