Who has the right to establish it? Yes, we need to follow the money to answer these questions, but at the same time... we're dealing with such a new and changing medium that it's really hard to tie it down. Tomorrow it'll just break free anyway. Also, man... ideologies take yearrrssss to change.Rajweezyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254798732022506706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1940790881916661130.post-33234718873029561762010-11-03T10:23:34.468-07:002010-11-03T10:23:34.468-07:00I completely agree Brendan and Raj.

Brendan, Youtube is using a lot more advertisements which is turning away from what they original posed the site for and at the same time the users can make a profit from putting ads on their page and videos. <br /><br />Raja, there needs to be a common film ettique that everyone can respect from the user to the "cigar smoking exec" (Raja, 2010) Like the citation there...I'm not socialist, I just say some other ways to make money. As old institutions start to break down, new rules need to be created and this will allow for roles, jobs, ideologies, and such will and need to change.Jamalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169556141987136340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1940790881916661130.post-24158782763670700742010-11-03T05:55:33.427-07:002010-11-03T05:55:33.427-07:00So I did a little research about Youtube and disco...So I did a little research about Youtube and discovered that yes, you were correct that Google executives announced they believed Youtube would start adding positively toward Google's profits. Despite this, it will be many years before Google makes back the money it hemorrhaged since it bought it. However, this has been at the cost of Youtube's core mission, which was originally to offer videos without ads at the beginning. Anyone who has been to Youtube recently knows that this is not the case anymore. Furthermore, with the advent of profit-sharing, users can actually make money off their videos it they become a hit. While it might be different from it origins, it is still a place for the viewer and creator.Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09849042960556744088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1940790881916661130.post-12148073622375807752010-11-01T11:36:42.803-07:002010-11-01T11:36:42.803-07:00Sometimes we're too quick to picture a fat, gr...Sometimes we're too quick to picture a fat, gross, balding man with his feet up at a desk smoking a cigar. I'm talking specifically about your second paragraph. Why do people even put their videos/remixes up? Is it to make money, to become the next big internet star, or is it just for their friends to see? So, yes we saw a case today where the big bad industry ripped off an unknown video and didn't give credit where credit was due. Youtube makes this all too easily possible. But for just a average joe six-pack like me, man... if someone big ripped off my vid, I would be so honored. At least someone's looking. And what about those cases where joe six-pack gets a job? Livin' the American dream, aren't we? There are people that want their work to spread. Remember what we in Mittell's class about how TV shows work... I think it applies here. Innovation. Imitation. Saturation. It's just that youtube and all these other platforms are so accessible and well-known that it's hard to put a watermark on our work. I'm just playing devil's advocate here, but in the grand scheme of things... a certain universal internet etiquette needs to be formed for both the average (wo)man and media honchos.Rajweezyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254798732022506706noreply@blogger.com
