Re: [videoblogging] Veoh transcoding feeds?

[Charles Iliya Krempeaux]

Hello,I think part of the problem is that there is no automated way for machines/software to "understand" licenses.  RSS, Atom, HTML, and HTTP makes no requirement for machines/software to obey licenses.
Many people argue that by making your data available in these formats and protocols that you are implicitly giving people permission to do all sorts of things.  (And if you don't want people to do these things, then you should be using the HTTP authentication -- usernames and passwords -- that the HTTP protocol provides.)
I think if something like this is wanted, it would have to codified in the Feed.  Probably those who want license restrictions would do this by stopping use of the RSS <enclosure> and make up and use a replacement for this that would bind "license" instructions in it.
(This probably isn't what people want to hear though.)See yaOn 4/7/06, Michael Verdi <

I noticed this during SXSW and mentioned it to Halcyon. I haven't had time to follow up with them though. I think it's pretty bogus and violates peoples licenses.-Verdi

Hi Josh.While searching for sites for testinggrounds.loadedpun.com, I've found tons of vlogs listed in a great number of sites. They do, indeed, pick up media feeds and list them. Check out Blinkx, for example. I bet you're in there.
It's a very strange feeling to go to a community site and find your listings. These places usually have a way to get out of the listings if you find your stuff, but they have no way to prevent you from getting in there in the first place.

I looked at the "watch" tab on veoh and noticed a bunch of vlogger's videos (including Bre, Markus, and Rocketboom) on the page. Markus didnt know anything about it, and I highly doubt Rocketboom submuts their content to Veoh to be transcoded into flash and hosted there...
what is the deal? are they scraping feeds then transcoding and hosting videos without permission?[...]
