Why are you concerned about hotlinking? BW... the idea of a tube is to give shit away for free... seems a bit like a double standard to be pissed if someone hotlinks your vids right? Don't allow others to embed which would defeat the purpose of viral tube traffic.

There is a difference between allowing other to embed certain videos and jacking ALL of your content.
I have no problem if someone wants to embed a few videos here or there, but to scrape my entire site is not cool. These programs out of the box, you put in just the URL and scrapes all their videos.

Not necessarily. I use two scripts, one that converts FHG into flv videos that I host, and other that publishes them into a better interface (until the latter script can handle both).
Im hosting over 5000 videos between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. I have no problem with the hosting bill as long as the visitors are going to MY site seeing MY ads. Fuck if im going to pay the bill for someone else to jack my shit.
