YouTube To Allow Self-Serve Ads For Major Media Players
thefickler writes to tell us that YouTube plans on raising revenue by allowing major media players to run their own ads on the video site for, not only their own content, but illegally uploaded content by other users. "The site says CBS is already on board for the scheme, with other giants expected to join. The scheme will allow TV, movie and music companies to upload content and then sell advertising themselves, for example through images or animations which are overlaid on suitable sections of the clips. YouTube will then take a cut of this advertising revenue."
You would be waiving that right as a part of their terms of service.
Nothing is free. There is always a price.
If McCain had won and we were talking about the governor of Arizona you all, as well as the media, would be falling all over yourselves to pin the whole thing on McCain and/or Bush. Kucinich would have already drafted impeachment papers, Pelosi would have already called for multiple congressional investigations, and slashdotters would be posting +5 Insightful comments about how republican corruption knows no bounds. But when a piece of shit Chicago Democrat is being impeached for selling a senate seat, not to mention the federal fraud and bribery charges, it's unthinkable that he should face problems? Problems!
Do me a favor. Walk to the nearest mirror. Look at yourself, and repeat after me ten times, "I am not a victim."
