Thanks guys, good points. I'll add one more. Unauthorised copying, particularly on a gross basis, creates a negative for videoblogging, it could look to others as if ripping-off content is condoned in and by the community. Videobloggers, IMHO, don't need this kind of fscked-up message being broadcast in conjunction with our work.

Let's give Dmitry another opportunity to demonstrate he's the "good guy" by answering TODAY the questions of the group.

Dmitry, If you decide to not dodge the question again, please respond to the group here:

(a) Yes or no (and only yes or no), have any persons who work for Veoh or with Veoh (for pay or not) manually input RSS feeds into the system?

(b) Given the business you have chosen to be in and the expertise required to finance and operate such a business in a regulated environment and you and your board's awareness of copyright regulation, under what exclusion did you believe you were operating when you copied the works of others without authorisation, modified them and otherwise ignored the licenses (please identify the exclusion by quoting the specific paragraph from the US regulations for all here to read, please omit and other language such as job offers and promises of more appropriate behaviour in the future)?

How the feeds got there is one of the issues.

Dmitri could have said yes, we spider, and we apologize. But instead he
told us directly that Veoh doesn't spider, and that each of his 1600 feeds
were entered manually. (!)

I think that might be one reason that people are still pretty upset
about this. There is no admitting of the obvious guilt.
