The "Youtube" style site...Pandora's Box [vote inside]
It would seem to me that there is 0 recourse at this point to prevent them from spiraling out of hand. In the past with tgp's etc. (even ones using stolen content) there was little fear. We always had the video membership model, which was so bandwidth intensive, no one could touch it.
#1 - Now there are a whole slew of cheap b/w providers.
#2 - hundreds of free video hosting sites, hosting up to 1000mb of video for free
#3 - sites like youporn etc. have sky rocketing traffic (off the charts) seeing growth uncommon to any other type of site on the net
So you have a rising demand for video, a lowering cost of bandwidth, & the ability to grab a top 200 alexa market share within a few months.
It seems to me we're in the middle of a perfect storm & no one will have the ability to slow it down.
What is your opinion?
