spreadthemedia.org— MyHeavy, another YouTube wannabe, has been stealing content from web video producers and re-posting the videos without permission to profit from major ad sales.

A web site that served video and didn't try monetize of it in some way isn't going to last very long unless it has donations or investors. Stop complaining. A watermark on internet video hardly claims ownership anymore. Its more of an identifier of where the video is coming from.

The deal is no link to the creator via permalink, no attribution, myheavy's watermark on the works, and the pre-roll advertising next to thonged women and creator's vids of their kids.

I absolutely agree. I posted the notification e-mail I sent to them on my blog: <a class="user" href="http://www.galacticast.com/2007/01/03/on-notice-myheavycom/">http://www.galacticast.com/2007/01/03/on-notice-myheavycom/</a>This should indeed be compensated.

Because it's ok for one company to profit from someone else's content (youtube) but not another (myheavy)?

There is no lack of copyright protection on the web; it's simply simpler to infringe.

I think their first responsibility is directly with the people they stole from. After that any socially redeeming acts would be good.

The link doesn't even say anything about that! Did anyone else even click on it? Or did the link change?
