Does this mean by next year, YouTube will be filled with weirdos like that guy crying for Britney and some kid singing chocolate rain? I guess I gotta go back to bittorrents for watching TopGear :(

Vimeo and Veoh anyone?
YouTube's only positive point is userbase. And they are gonna kill it with that.

@wakeupbomb:

Indeed, it seems like Google is going out to kill off Youtube.
It wouldn't be much of a loss anyway, Youtube was never that great before.

Screw that, I'd be putting money on an anti-duplicate system. The amount of videos that are uploaded hundreds of times by different people annoys me and doesn't help the YouTube servers either.
Also, has anyone noticed if a company holding the rights to a video, say a music video uploads and uploads it to YouTube, it's often really REALLY bad quality and other users have better versions, that's reason alone to tell those companies to stfu, I think.

I don't understand this whole thing, I mean, it's free publicity. Also, if the companies would just upload the videos themselves, that wouldn't be a problem. But, it seems that they are giving the clips to YouTube. Why can't they just POST those videos that clearly exist.

So...they aren't going to allow people to post copyrighted videos? Hmmm...I predict youtube will be dead by summer of '08.
