I hate to say it but with services like google video... you get what you get and that's it.
I think with google video the only solution to avoiding your content being scrapped, besides declaring you don't want your videos downloadable which might help... is don't use google video. They're so huge they're never going to cater to your needs if they don't already. A tremendous amount of their media is from mainstream media companies... that's who they're catering too. Stick with smaller more focused hosts like blip.tv that are specifically focused on your needs as an indpendant videoblogger. -Mike On 1/4/07, J.
