BayTSP CEO Mark Ishikawa, whose company sends all those indiscriminate takedown notices (a million a month!) to YouTube on behalf of Viacom and other studios, has a funny take on copyright law. He complains that YouTube’s copyright filter isn’t doing its “job”.
Two things, Ishikawa:
1) YouTube is a DMCA safe harbor. As such, it falls upon […]
Once again, CBS CEO Les Moonves reaps the benefits of his courage inside online video. Streaming all the NCAA March Madness games earned CBS $23 million in revenue. They guessed (correctly) that this particular content was very well-suited to the availability of the medium: 92 percent of online basketball watching was done at work, “demonstrating […]
I loved his geeky Love Two Point Oh, so I’m glad he’s finally getting some Web 2.0 rev-share love almost one year later. Congratulations to Australian musician johnnyOnline on making YouTube partner.
Even if your biggest hit is a year old, the asynchronous nature of online video and the emerging nature of its business model means […]
Regardless of your politics, Obama definitely leads when it comes to onsite video views. His site got 518,000 video views in March, beating Hillary’s 351,000 and McCain’s 38,000.
That Obama’s site features a MySpace clone probably doesn’t hurt. Obama’s offsite video presence (YouTube etc.) is multiplied by such hit mashups as Yes We Can and Obama […]
I can’t believe I missed this when it first came out. Score one more for YouTube’s recommendation engine. Check out this montage of viral video phenomena set to a parody of Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start the Fire: Internet Stars are Viral.
I like this video’s international perspective. Unlike other montages I’ve seen, this one also […]
You know how the average mouse potato watched 42.6 videos in February? Looks like we watched even more in March. Nielsen says YouTube views hit 3.6 billion in March — up from 2.9 billion in February — while the number of uniques stayed at 70 million.
That means the average mouse potato watched around 51 YouTube […]
Fantastic thought from the ever-insightful Steve Bryant:
What does it even mean any more to say a talent goes from Web-to-TV, when that talent’s already an established name?
In one TV interview about online video, my words were brutally edited to make “pure” online video stars seem somehow less professional than mediocre Web-to-TV sellouts. Chalk it up […]
Can you believe it’s been a year since Tay Zonday’s Chocolate Rain hit YouTube? Thanks to its Creative Commons licensing, the thing’s picked up a truckload of remixes since. Twenty million views and an ad tie-up later, Tay’s now selling some of those remixes in the album Chocolate Rain: Benefit Power.

The latest comScore numbers show a 3% gain in online video views in February at 10,089,048, despite that month being two days short. Note that comScore just counts streams and progressive downloads. Ten billion doesn’t even count torrents and direct downloads.
Other interesting tidbits:
* 72.8 percent of the total U.S. Internet audience viewed online video.

Revver announced it in September and Metacafe announced it in December, so I was wondering when YouTube would too. Along with the addition of Japan, Australia, and Ireland to their revenue-sharing partner program, YouTube now announces that they’ve paid out $1,000,000 to partners.
As online video ad revenue grows and YouTube’s partner program expands, I wonder […]
