Is this Viacom talking?

"If you want to profit from my content, pay me too for allowing you the right to feature the content I paid to create."

WOW! Funny, when youtubers are watching illegally broadcasted copyrighted content, (you know. Like million-dollar movies, TV shows etc.) they don't seem to care if the creator gets "Paid...for featur(ing) the content (the creator) paid to create" Fair is fair. Pay all or pay none. Advertising notwithstanding.

This should be standard now

Is this Viacom talking? -no.

I don't get what the big deal is; You tube should pay it's users for the content they feature. This is not a new concept, in fact http://www.break.com already does it, and so does http://www.revver.com

The way I see it, You Tube is late on the trend but users are like sheep and can't even see potential if it bit 'em in the face.
