why on earth would anyone not see this as a step forward? Wouldn't everyone want them to list content given to them by sponsors and not stolen?
Regardless of the length of videos they show, which has NOTHING to to with it, this is a new affiliate for PM and if they stopped all together using stolen content and worked with sponsors to use content provided than this is a step forward isn't it?
If anyone thinks youtube sites are not here to stay then you are in for a rough few years.

They are here to stay and I see this as a possitive step forward.
