Steve, I think that for the time being at least there's a manageable group of worthwhile aggregation destinations, and it's possible for us to offer opt-in and opt-out from them within the dashboard. Moving forward we may go to a more freeform system, where we allow people to opt-in or out based on arbitrary strings in referrer tags or organization identifiers in MediaRSS. I don't think we're at the point where the standards are sufficiently mature or there are enough players for this to be necessary, though. Soon, probably.
This has happened four times in a major way, and maybe half a dozen in more subdued ways. We need to develop a set of best practices, followed by technology to enforce those best practices from the content creator and distributor level. We're working to pioneer both sides of that conversation, and we've had repeated engagements with folks to try to set those standards. As it happens I'm sitting down with Heavy's CEO and CTO next Wednesday to discuss these very issues. It's time for the crowd to recommend solutions. MyHeavy is now willing to play ball by your rules. Write the rules. I'll convey them. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Watkins > Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2007 1:51 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [videoblogging] Re: MyHeavy.com Disregarding Vlogger > CC Licenses > > Cheers for the info :) This means there is no technical > barrier for 3rd parties to get this licence info from the > same source they are getting details of the video, which is > great.
