The guys that first changed web searching, then the web itself, are now aiming to change the world of video content.
Google Video, which opened in early Beta today, will allow people to upload video content, then allow others to search for it, watch clips, or buy the file.
Right now, Google is accepting "applications" for your video file to be included in the Beta, which will release at a YTBD date, probably late summer.
I think this will be really nice. The MPAA keeps complaining about illegal downloads...what it needs is what iTunes did for music, a nice way to look, try, and buy ligitmatly. I heard rumors that Sony was attempting something of the same...but since Sony distributes movies, it would never be the same as iTunes (think a Virgin Records owned version). But, if Google could do the samething, that would be cool.
To be clear, this current project is for Creative Commons only, no Major Motion Pictures allowed. Thats still a dream.
