this is a perfect point we need to make clear. If you host with CC friendly services like Blip.tv, then your CC license is in your feed. It is machine readable and any commercial service like Splashcast can read it. I also encourage people to add a CC license inside the video as well....like a tag at the end...just to help spread awareness. Including your blog URL in the video is also smart since many sites won't like back to you. It's called "marking your work". http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Marking_work Again, this is not like Hollywood crying that their content is being stolen. Creative Commons is just the logical way that we can all share our content, but still push the exposure many of us want. It also helps people find where things originate from to get better understanding of the source. Once my video go online..i expect anything to happen knowing the chaotic nature of the web. But we should expect commercial services to be better citizens. we want a healthy ecology. personally, I like CC Attribution. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/ use my videos any way you want, but just give me a link back. Other creators will have their own needs. at least Alex from Splashcast is engaging with this group. +1 Jay -- Here I am.... http://jaydedman.com Check out the latest project: http://pixelodeonfest.com/ Webvideo festival this June!!!!
