Thanks for this info. Itll be interesting to see how Youtube manages their partnerships. Since they have such distribution power, will they effectively start laying out content guidelines? I wonder if Youtube will start (or has already) hiring TV execs to manage content and do promotion. I ask because it's interesting to see in San Francisco, technologists try to figure out content stuff...when the entertainment industry has been doing it for years.
