While interesting and kind to consider the feelings of corporations, I think it's beside the point for this example. Youtube is supposedly based on videos created by people. The point is that Youtube should simply enable Creative Commons...and let the ecosystem develop naturally. Right now, there is no framework to use other people's youtibe videos in a reasonable, transparent way. Both blip.tv and flickr.com have created strong business supporting Creative Commons. Youtube is simply the big player whose decisions affects everyone else....like the state of California in the US. Jay -- http://jaydedman.com 917 371 6790
