mercurynews.com — "Not coming soon to YouTube: full-length movies or other time-consuming video. Instead, the off-the-charts-successful online video distributor is aiming for the quick-click generation that likes its entertainment in bites of two-and-a-half minutes or so, said Chad Hurley, chief executive and co-founder of the San Mateo start-up."

I'd look to Google Video for longer video. When Flash 8/9 is available for Linux then Google can make the switch without having the Linux crowd feel disenfranchised.Adobe - you listening?

I'm wondering when/if the RIAA will force youtube to take all those music videos down.

I still hate this. I think the best thing about youtube was that people could produce their own videos. Now they're limited to what they can show. I've seen people making little animations, video clips, now they've been restricted from making them the time they want. I really hope this limit brings down youtube and moves the traffic elsewhere.There has to be better ways to fight the copyright issue, rather than restricting user control over their own media.

It seems like they already have started taking stuff off. There's messages like this: <a class="user" href="http://snipurl.com/tyw2">http://snipurl.com/tyw2</a> (redirects to the youtube page)And I came across another video the other day that said it had been removed from a request of the owner, RIAA. I couldn't find that one this time, though.
