Meloman, one of the things I realized looking at the web20 model is that without a large amount of parasite advertising around the content, these sites have little hope of being profitable. They are bandwidth and server intensive situations, and require huge amounts of both if they really want to be able to cope with the traffic they get.
Sponsors need to clear this situation up. Are they permitting different uses of thier content? Are we now allowed to stitch together their videos to run together? Are we allowed to run other advertising on a page with thier content? Are we allowed up upload the content with our affiliate codes to other sites?
It will be interesting to see if programs start offering their content in other formats or make these deals more "open" to all.
