Thank you for saying this Josh.......I have to say this whole thread has really taken me by surprise........it seems that everyone is out to vilify VEOH.....look I don't like what they did but you head the nail on the head when you talk about ALL the sites that are infringing......in various ways.......
What I don't get and maybe someone can explain this to me in a simple manner, (I am not a real tech guy, I know enough and am learning but on a thread like this I realize how much I don't know.) I put my videos out, what is to stop someone from putting my RSS feed into a site without my knowledge and how does that site know it's not me? What is to stop someone from uploading my video to "YouTube" and have it link back to "their" site? How does a site that gathers video "control" that? You can have all the "opt in" you want but by putting our video out there we all take the risk of someone "highjacking" our stuff........don't we?
