OOPS! You (Tube) did it again...



 Alas I bring tidings of more potentially bad news. For those, like myself, who enjoy making music videos, there may soon be a void as You Tube may soon become unavailable as an outlet.

 This is not only a bad omen for music but soon for original content that isn't corporate advertising, fail compilations and cat videos (Like this absolute GEM!). It stands to reason that if they do go ahead with this draconian agreement, and it sounds like an almost foregone conclusion, that they soon will set their sights on other works, such as short films, infotainment and magazine style casts. It's actually quite a daunting and sad reality that there soon may well be fewer and few online outlets to "distribute" your work. This is purely speculation, but I'm sure you can see that if this agreement does go ahead, then You Tube will likely start implementing it into other arenas and video publication types.

  It truly is a sad thought and a worry. But don't stop, keep making your content and keep uploading it, the hardest part at the moment is finding an audience for none cat related videos (which will never go viral - as quality seemingly never does in this day and age). Vimeo stands to gain several more channels.

Ideas? Thoughts? Opinions?
