A business cannot (should not) share your content for business purposes without your express permission.I've had people hijack my bandwidth by grabbing the direct url to my video content on my host only to embed that link in a player on their website. They were popular websites and generated more views of my videos than I did (translate bandwidth). But there were no links back to me or my website, no credit gicen to me. That's hijacking bandwidth (and content in my case becasue I only give permission to share my article/blogs in their entriety.)
I think what we need here is a technological advancement.
People seem to want to get their statisics. And people want to be in control. But they don't actually want to have to serve the huge video files. (Because that costs alot of money.)
This is a case where P2P technology (like BitTorrent or Gnutella) could come to be a solution. You'd hit the vloggers server; that server would be able to gather statistics, and then it would tell the client to go get the video off a P2P system (like BitTorrent or Gnutella).
Of course, this doesn't address other concerns. (Like misrepresentation. And commercial use.) But I think it is part of a solution to our problem.
You know, we as vloggers should create a "road map" for what we want software (that deals with vloggers) to support. And try to get all the players in the area "on-board" with our "road map". And implement it.
See ya
