We still have to promote them, though. Does YouTube retain
copyrights on the
videos uploaded to the website?
I assume not. The BBC, for example, has an account and uploads
pretty
lengthy clips to YouTube. Perhaps Wikimedia should do the same
thing?
Being copyleft, our content can be reused quite freely (including being posted on YouTube). I simply contest using YouTube/Microsoft Live or any other such site which uses proprietory software as the *primary* distributor of our content.
Yep, agreed.
(Also, you can't download the videos from YouTube's site... really
annoying.)
Not formally, but there are lots of utilities and web sites that assist
in this.
Which explicitly goes against their Terms of Service, of course. ("We are doing everything we can to prevent downloads of video files from the site," says a rep in a CNET interview.)
