Not some guys in suits, or corrupt powers drinking cognac.

The best about internet for me is not just the connectivity of things, but the realisation that we, the people, have power. Yes, we are doing it already, some are, but in the future- we will have more power. Not leave it to the ''brave new world'' corporations of the future. Yes, we will share everything that is digital, we will have it, but it also we, who want to set the rules. Without this Creative Commons infrastructure, how is this all going to work, proper? Moving ideas, music, images, movies, everything, in speed, and without thinking about boring stuff. Everywhere and in everything, exchanging. I know we already have some of this, for branding etc, but I'm talking about using. In the next 5-10 years - we will have memory chips everywhere - with radio (wifi/bluetooth) signaling - interchanging among us everything. It is ''the new'' - and the protection of cool. Hulu was a surprise, Vimeo is a surprise. Youtube is king, but they can't exist as a single big brand and throughout, for the ''do the video'' thing. And they always have to catch up with our ideas, must move to a higher gear. In Youtube example, it is always falling behind with this new of cool, that the ''new kids'' are (want) using. :)Īnd all the ''old'' stuff and services, then start to look like fast food services.


)īut for me, a younger person, stuff like this - constantly updating and renewing, giving me more freedom, quality and essence - is the (new) cool. I like, but now I just started using Vimeo video service, (-was pleasantly suprised by Joi's cool HD videos and wedding :) Joi, you have the touch (eye) for everything heh. And will be in the future, something like - ''serving you for 50 years'' thing.īut it's not the greatest of video services, just ''cool'' and popular (for) now. You know what? I think Youtube is like McDonalds. And if you're are a partner who wants to participate, fill out the YouTube Downloads - Partner Interest form. Creative Commons licenses permit people to reuse downloaded content under certain conditions. Using Creative Commons licenses, we're giving our partners and community more choices to make that happen. They don't mind sharing their work, provided that they get the proper credit. Many video creators on YouTube want their work to be seen far and wide. So we've started working with a few partners who want their videos shared universally and even enjoyed away from an Internet connection. Many of you have told us that you wanted to take your favorite videos offline. We are always looking for ways to make it easier for you to find, watch, and share videos. The test is being launched with a handful of partners, including Stanford, Duke, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and UCTV. YouTube just made an incredibly exciting announcement: it's testing an option that gives video owners the ability to allow downloads and share their work under Creative Commons licenses.
