David, Ted, I'm not here to pick fights. . .but. . . :P I dont know. Its sounds cool and you know advertisers would love to know if a commercial was watched. This can be done easily with adding an href track to the video at a certain time interval. You can ping a count to your server at any time in the video.

However, there is a privacy/rights issue. I dont tend to have problems with these personally just because I dont consider my activity to be felonious and I'm not easily embarrassed, but! I side with keeping it private for the sake of other related human rights issues. The last thing we need is more big brother government officials taking matters into their own hands without any legal constraints.
