That was like a long Deja Vu...

Or the future Bier Suppe.

That was a great find, up vote! gotta get this out of Queue.

By the way, what does a viral video mean? That every one watches it and it has spread like a virus? I'm not joking i really don't know what it means, i see it all the time on Ifilm, but most of those videos aren't very good.

...refers to video clip content which gains widespread popularity through the process of Internet ...

Great post. Actually, about two or three major content holders if fine by me. Too many hosters mean much more effort is needed to search for the right content. People won't get the exposure they want, and people looking for video will have to do the same searching 100s of times if there are 100s of large video hosters. But then, maybe that's what VideoSift's for.

But anyways, relating to your aritcle linked in the post, having worked in business and a part of the music industry, I can understand the way these corporations think about restricting their copyrighted videos. Of course it's about making money. Look at the music industry today. Artists - real artists - are finding it ever so hard to make a living these days. You guys may have some alternate solutions over there in the USA, but less technologically developed countries don't. People load music from the internet rather than buying them. It's the same simliar with television shows. It takes effort making these shows and sometimes it is hard for the producers of these shows to think of the content they're making for profit are...well, being viewed for free.

It makes sense that Viacom removed their videos to be uploaded by a different host. It's not that they don't want their videos to be exposed, it's that they want to be the ones uploading the things they created. Is that so wrong?

Viacom owns MTV that once used to mean Music television. They predominantly air "reality" shows on their channel. What is hell is Viacom upset about when they are not airing music.

It frustrates me that Viacom pulled the videos from youtube, then turned around posted them on the comedy central website..with expiry dates. (They are also hosted on iFilm, without the option of embedding) They are just milking people like Colbert and Stewart for every penny they are worth. While leaving fans like me to kiss their ass, I remember turning to the internet for entertainment because I was sick of the whole "our way or no way" vibe I was getting from the major networks.

My main fear is that they start putting commercials in the online videos (they already have on comedycentral) pretty soon we'll see commercials in the embeds.

Did we miss any videos to share here? I think I saw all of them.
