    That article makes my dick go boing boing! Holy shit...

      New 2257 regs in theory will make Youtube very tame - anything of a sexual nature (even simulated sex, such as scenes from a TV show or movie) will require documentation indexed by YouTube.

      Me thinks he should take the money now before the shit and the fan have a sudden coming together.

        The question is can they effectively monetize that 100 million per day without destroying the company. If they were showing 100 million videos they owned then maybe they could but they aren't.

        They would have to put ads into the videos in the beginning and end. That would effectively kill their popularity.

        I would say they might be worth about 70-100 mil but anything over that is a major crapshoot betting on the hard 5-6 roll.

                  my question is how many of those 100m videos are to Asia? Every looked at the most viewed movies of the day? A ton of them are usually foreign language and worthless bandwidth and profit sucking crap. Anyone that would pay more than 10m for youtube instead of starting their own would be foolish.

                                  Well they finally found a way to make file sharing extremely profitable (if they find a buyer, which im sure they will)

                                  This is the trend I see in the future, startup costs getting larger for online businesses and companies spending more and more money to get the surfer.

                                  Good point - Less competition in the long run

                                  Bad point - Less profit, more costs

                                  Great for surfers, shitty for webmasters

                                    We get all the US TV shows too mate. House, Scrubs, Lost, you name it.

                                    Advertising fees come from how many viewers you have per given time. At a 100 million viewers per day, you can definitely charge a whole shitload.

                                    Besides, I'm sure there's a way to localize the advertising content based on the viewer's ISP.

                                        Anyone can stick a price tag on something, but it pretty much boils down to being worth what someone's willing to pay for it..

                                                I really hope they do get shutdown or they lose a significant amount of money in lawsuits, if they don't then you'll start seeing a huge number of websites like it taking off and its really going to hurt some online industries even more than what it is already doing.

                                                    veoh =myspace

                                                    IMHO
                                                    Some people seem to talk a load of crap in their videos on veoh though

                                                    Example - http://www.veoh.com/videoDetails.html?v=e974155hmhTMZk

                                                    WTF !!

                                                        ouch! that is a lot of money for a site... I don't think it's worth that much.
                                                        Talking about it, how much would Google be worth?

                                                          Way too much..

                                                          Especially considering they arecompeting with Google.
                                                          And Google already has all that BW and more already payed for.

                                                            Why do you like veoh much more than youtube? I haven't spent much time on veoh. Does it have better features for uploading or..?

                                                            veoh seems to have just as much stolen content and waaay less traffic, how is it poised to take over from youtube if they go down?
