I see... You're not talking about prevention. You're talking about recourse.
Prevention could (hypothetically) consist of either something in the feed that blocks aggregators from slurping videos from your feed or something visual in your video that alerts potential aggregators that there are going to be "consequences & repercussions" if they utilize your video in ways that your chosen license doesn't allow. The problem with visual prevention is that nobody's watching your videos. They're automatically taking the entire blip feed that just happens to have your videos included. Therefore, whether you show an "All Rights Reserved" card on your video or a "Creative Commons [whatever]" card, nobody sees it. The problem with prevention via feed is that there's no telling what the aggregator's going to do with your video. There's nothing that sends to blip "I intend to put a full-screen ad in front of your 280-pixel-wide video and flank it with chicks in lingerie without linking back to you or crediting anyone as the content creator" so that blip could automatically veto their "application" for your video. Instead, it's up to the aggregator to search the information in the feed and go "oh... She put a Non-Commercial license on her video... Which means that we aren't supposed to put ads on it.... And we INTEND to put ads on it, so don't take that particular video, check her next video for an incompatible license". On top of all that, in this case, when you told them about your issue, they told you "I can't do nothin' for ya, man", and claimed to be insulated from dealing with you directly because they're aggregating a different site that already aggregated you. Short of "Whack-A-Mole" (or not using RSS at all), prevention is currently impossible. Recourse is where a traditional license might help you out....... or not. -- Bill C. http://ReelSolid.TV --- In [email protected], "Gena" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > My thoughts about a traditional license was that if I had to fight to > prevent uses in situations I didn't want my videos to appear I would > be on established legal ground. > > From a practical standpoint it would be easier to convince a judge my > rights instead of educating him/her on CC licenses. > > I'm not going to switch anytime soon.
