Hey guys,
I just got off the phone with Dmitri Shapiro, the CEO of Veoh. I
tracked him down (thanks to a few great people) to discuss this
situation because it seems like much of the video Veoh has been
collecting comes from blip.tv -- and a lot of our users have asked us
to do something about it.
Dmitri has just joined the group and will send an e-mail shortly that
will hopefully start us down the road to resolving this situation.
Yours,
Mike
Co-founder, blip.tv
