businessweek.com — The brilliant Ze thinks there is a coming of age happening online, as demonstrated by the recent debate among blogs kicked off by Wired News and Boing Boing about YouTube's terms of services. As more people invest more time into these videos, and the prospect of making money actually begins to become real for many of these contrubutors.

One of the few places newspapers are making good money online is by selling access to their archives. Record companies make huge profits on their back catalogs. Antique stores sell old crap for 100x what it originally cost plus interest....

Good points Seizure.The assumption right now from everyone, is that they are just trying to get as many eyeballs as possible, and somehow the money will come maybe sorta, when people recognize what you do. But as you say, we're living in a YouTube world, and with people abel to strip out commercials as easy as a double click, the sustainability comes into question, as does the advertisers patience for this weird new format.I think ABC (or was it CBS) got on the right track when they released their shows online, but forced people to watch an ad that could not be skipped. The more you can control your content in this way, the more you can win over advertisers once the eyeballs stay with you.My only point would be that an episode of Lost is different than a episode of Rocketboom as far as long term worth, and once the new media revolution starts crossing over as far as quality of content, then the playing field can be truly evened out.

the only good thing about the internet is that if they were going to try and charge godlods of money (which they probably wouldn't do) there are plenty of ways to get around it. I mean, you can find a torrent and multiple downloads sites for practically any movie.

truly, that is the ONLY good thing about the internet: it gives you the ability to easily steal content.
