I think what attracts investors -- and I think wrongly -- is that it's a closed network. They transcode video that's walled into a P2P network. The number of views are now only visible on Veoh. I have a video on blip.tv that has over 100 views with over 300 views on Veoh. People can link in by copying the video url which only gives them the beginning snippet. Content comes in, but only previews go out. This probably looks attractive for future advertising, pay-per-view, premium content subscriptions and the like. It is working to create a controlled content, television network model through software that walls off access.
I think the response to this should be to continue making good, attractive content with creative commons license and demand the license be respected by services like Veoh. -- Enric --- In [email protected], "Peter Van Dijck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Veoh raises 12.5 million dollars. > > http://gigaom.com/2006/04/17/veoh-raises-125-million/ > > Peter > -- > http://mefeedia.com > Yahoo!
