> SplashCast is launching a new feature to its product this week called > MyPodcastNetwork <http://www.splashcastmedia.com/mypodcastnetwork> that > allows the video or audio enclosures in any RSS feed to be displayed > within a SplashCast player on any web page. This will make every page on > the web an avenue for live distribution of multiple shows, meaning that > any web page could display the most recent episodes of any audio or > video program. Additionally, the new feature allows people make their > own personal channels that they can display on their personal start page > or aggregator of choice. The result is a new way for podcasters to > distribute their shows. > It is important for us that we keep an open dialogue with podcasters and > vloggers about the features we are adding and how the service will be > improved in the future for any podcaster, be they producing audio or > video programs. > We have created a Podcast FAQ <http://splashcastmedia.com/podcasterfaq/> > , which we hope will answer the questions you may have about how the > SplashCast service will work. We have several new features that will be > added, which are addressed in the FAQ.
hey alex-- a big question i dont see on your FAQ is your view of Creative Commons. how will you help your users respect these licenses that many videobloggers are putting into their videos? If I understand Splashcast correctly...here would be my worry. a user goes to your site and creates a channel. they choose a bunch of videos that they didnt make. This channel can then be displayed on their site as a Streaming video widget. The user then puts advertising all over and around the videos. No money, attribution, or anything is shared with the original creators even if there are clear CC licenses defining the use. I know Magnify.net is already doing this....and seems to cut the creators out of the equation. how will Splashcast handle this situation, if ive described it correctly.
