Im blogging this now.... Im using this great article from wethemedia during the Veoh incident: http://wearethemedia.com/2006/04/08/whats-going-on-with-veoh/ "There is, incidentally, a protocol for Web-based aggregation of video content. There is a way to do it without getting in trouble. Guidelines include: * Always keep video files in their original format to preserve the creator's intended viewer experience. Only transcode or "down-res" a video file with the creator's permission. * Always link the "collection" of content (generally a videoblog) back to its creator. If a video comes from Josh Leo's blog there should be a prominent link to Josh Leo's blog on every page including content from or mentioning the collection. * Always serve aggregated video files from their original hosts so that the original hosting service can track statistics and serve ads if the user chooses to do so. * Always link from the video playback page to the page the video was originally published on. This is often called the "permalink". So If Josh originally posted his video to http://joshleo.com/my-video/ the video view page in the aggregator must link to that URL with an indication that the video itself and more information about the video can be found there.
