Well free speech opens up a lot of avenues..and what we like or dislike might be a totally different thing for someone else.

Wew.... I think that will be unfair Many people upload illegal contain. Maybe youtube wrote DO NOT POST ILLEGAL CONTENT. but fact? Many people upload FULL eps of some series (The mostly that I download is anime). I never watch at youtube. Everytime I want to watch somehing, I must DL it first. my connection is too weak for streaming. I upload some video at my sister youtube account at http://youtube.com/user/shireishou But I never get money. I'm pass from youtube if they do that. It will be make people upload illegal content more to get money. I also upload some illegal content due to some request. BUt not all eps. Only capturing or I cut most sceene. I like to upload my own video creation lately. But its hard for me to upload somethin there. T_____T I dont interesting to earn money from youtube. I only upload video if I made new video or ppl request me to upload some video that not avaliable in their country and I have it

I also heard about this the other day, and I think that it is a great idea! I know of some people who have posted original content on that site, and i would love to see them recieve some money for their efforts. I wonder if this will only apply to new uploads? If so, I hope that my friends can remove and then reupload their wonderful videos, because they have put a lot of work into them and i'm sure that they could gain some money from what they've done. I personally don't have any original content to upload yet, since I doubt that AMV's count, since they use clips from commerical anime shows.. but maybe one day! ^_^ I really do wonder what the pay rate will be like? ^_^

I heard this too. I can't wait until it starts. There will be a lot of people making videos like crazy. My son belongs to Bopsta and has some great videos there, but I keep trying to get him to put them on youtube. He says the download is slower and he doesn't like the quality. I bet when they start paying he will change his mind.

I think it may change your son's mind knowing there is a little incentive with the offer..Even those who say they don't care either way , will be running for the money:)+

Somehow I think that they will have to have what YouTube calls a "director account" ..I have been looking around since I started this ..I think some will get rich... There are so many ways to make money on the net aren't there?

wow, that's interesting. I haven't attempting uploading videos yet. I have watched plenty of them though. Some are really creative and funny. I bet people will definitely be making money if they start paying.
