Yes, I had a look at the code to a video I put up a few hours ago on
blip.tv and is now appearing on MyHeavy.com. The pertinent lines I
found are:
--------------
var so = new SWFObject("http://www.myheavy.com/doorProxy.swf";,
"doorProxy", "100%", "100%", "7", "#000000");
so.addParam("FlashVars",
"playerConf=myheavy_live&videoURL=http%3A%2F%2Fblip.tv%2Ffile%2Fget%2FEnric-GoingToSafewayRecordedOnTMobileSDA771.flv&videoThumbUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fblip.tv%2FuploadedFiles%2FEnric-GoingToSafewayRecordedOnTMobileSDA771-134.jpg&videoAuthorName=Blip
TV&videoAuthorUrl=http://blip.tv&videoTitle=Going to Safeway
(...&videoDescription=&playchannelID=0&playchannelType=user&page_user_id=&channelID=262&videoID=1&user_id=-1&videoType=external");
so.addParam("align", "middle");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.write("myheavyvideoplayer");
--------------
And the reference to my video and it's thumbnail in there are:
http%3A%2F%2Fblip.tv%2Ffile%2Fget%2FEnric-GoingToSafewayRecordedOnTMobileSDA771.flv&videoThumbUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fblip.tv%2FuploadedFiles%2FEnric-GoingToSafewayRecordedOnTMobileSDA771-134.jpg
So, yes they are references my flv video on blip.tv. But do they have
a right to play the media through their flash player when the
copyright prohibits commercial performance of it?
