Have they "copied" your material or have they just
cleverly copied the link to your free video?
I'm glad you're raising this issue.
I think they might argue that they aren't charging
people for "viewing" your vlogs. They might argue that "The Grand Canyon
might be free but tour guides get paid for taking people into parts of
it".
I'm hoping to start Vlog Digest as a free
service by creating links to exceedingly fine vlogs. If I did that and
then later sold "paid ads" or on site advertising would you consider that
"commercial" use of your vlogs?

Have you seen videospider?
<http://www.videospider.it/>
I
wrote up a blog post about them.
"Sunday, November 20, 2005
I've
requested that videospider remove my content
I just found Videospider
yesterday. They are charing people to view my
Creative Commons
licensed videos that say NO COMMERCIAL USE.
I'd say that charging for
viewing is commerical use."

My post details my research into them
including this from their site:
"Q:
Why are you charging people for
videos I've posted to USENET for free
distribution?
A:
We're not charging people for your videos.
Videospider customers are
paying for our service that formats and
indexes USENET binary posts to
make them easier to browse and
view."
My emails to them were rejected.
