Re: [videoblogging] SplashCast -- Letter to Podcasting/Vlogging Communities
Here is some communication between SplashCast and Todd Cochrane of Geek News Central: http://www.geeknewscentral.com/archives/007003.html#comments From Todd: I like both Marshall, and Alex but hey guys this is not good in a big way. When I click on the channel feed you have created it says Geek News Central Podcast by SplashCast Feed Agent -- SplashCast Channel this is a cheap way of trying to defer the issue you have here. NOT ACCEPTABLE Every subscriber they get to their new re-purposed feeds is a subscriber taken away from my original feed. SplashCast will use those subscriber numbers to value their business. Its one thing if I had opted in but they have created a directory of content producers all with hijacked feeds.

[videoblogging] SplashCast -- Letter to Podcasting/Vlogging Communities
Dear Podcasters/Vloggers: Hi, I'm Alex Williams, director of community development at SplashCast http://www.splashcastmedia.com/ . I am also the founder of the Podcast Hotel http://www.podcasthotel.com/ , a small event you may have heard of that we just did in San Francisco. SplashCast is launching a new feature to its product this week called MyPodcastNetwork http://www.splashcastmedia.com/mypodcastnetwork that allows the video or audio enclosures in any RSS feed to be displayed within a SplashCast player on any web page. This will make every page on the web an avenue for live distribution of multiple shows, meaning that any web page could display the most recent episodes of any audio or video program. Additionally, the new feature allows people make their own personal channels that they can display on their personal start page or aggregator of choice. The result is a new way for podcasters to distribute their shows. It is important for us that we keep an open dialogue with podcasters and vloggers about the features we are adding and how the service will be improved in the future for any podcaster, be they producing audio or video programs. We have created a Podcast FAQ http://splashcastmedia.com/podcasterfaq/ , which we hope will answer the questions you may have about how the SplashCast service will work. We have several new features that will be added, which are addressed in the FAQ. We hope to be ongoing participants in the podcasting and vlogging communities so please let us know what you think of the product. It's a work in progress that can improve based on community feedback. Thank you!

If I understand Splashcast correctly...here would be my worry. a user goes to your site and creates a channel. they choose a bunch of videos that they didnt make. This channel can then be displayed on their site as a Streaming video widget. The user then puts advertising all over and around the videos. No money, attribution, or anything is shared with the original creators even if there are clear CC licenses defining the use. I know Magnify.net is already doing thisand seems to cut the creators out of the equation. how will Splashcast handle this situation, if ive described it correctly.
