GUBA launches free video upload service
By Peter Cohen

GUBA is expanding its offerings by starting a free video upload and sharing service. The service even handles automatic transcoding to different formats, including iPod and Sony PSP.

GUBA has distinguished itself by offering a subscription-based search, transcode and download service for video and digital image searches through the Usenet, one of the oldest parts of the Internet. Now the service is expanding into video uploads independent of the Usenet.

GUBA?s new Upload service lets content creators upload short films, video clips and home movies, all hosted on GUBA?s own servers. Those videos are then made available to GUBA subscribers and non-subscribers alike; they can view the videos at no cost. Initially, the service will be limited to 200MB uploads ? that threshold will be raised to 1GB in April, according to the company.

GUBA Upload embeds content with information you provide, including name, tags, categories and date. An individual URL is provided so you can share uploads with friends and family. GUBA restricts uploads to user-generated content; the service will not allow users to index feature-length films, for example.

GUBA users who want to download the content can subscribe via Really Simple Syndication (RSS), and the service handles on-the-fly transcoding to ready the content for playback through iTunes, on an iPod, Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP), or in instant playback on the Web browser using Flash video.

GUBA plans additional video upload features in the second calendar quarter of 2006 ? those features will include reporting tools and viewer tracking, comments, and ?monetization capabilities.?

Ok this gonan be a long thread :1orglaugh

There goes the neighborhood

And they plan to verify the copyright owner of the video...how?

good news :glugglug

hardly.:warning

why hardly?

because good news usually refers to good things.. last i checked anyways

Seems a bit redundant to me...
The videos being uploaded there are more than likely being put out to the newsgroups that they already provide their interface for..

don't expect for a more than one word response.

Well they won't be the first or last to do that ... :(

to verify everything they will need a person hand approving everything. gonna be kinda hard

Its basically just another way to create a loophole to view copyright protected videos.. watch and see . try uploading a BANGBROS video clip to google video or youtube , and it wont make it through because its obviously copyright , and it would get flagged , try it with guba....

You'll have to subscribe to their usenet service for that!

well although still edgy its not nearly as bad as guba for the simple fact people cant directly advertise particular stolen content.

Like you cant point links to usenetbinaries to specific "keywords". That makes it much less relevent. People want to go there and type in "BANGBUS" and "LIGHTSPEED" and "PARIS HILTON" , thats what sells the service.. Also guba encodes the content in various formats..

I'm not saying either is very "ethical" but still think guba is worse, although havent checked them out much to be honest :)

Sweet I can just promote the GubaPass and replace all my affiliate programs with one big check..

Guba's Phlosophy: If you already have one foot in hell you might as well put the other in too.

:disgust

is there a way to automaticlly upload bullshit videos with wrong titles to fuck with them. Some one can upload 1000's of bad vids and they would never know unless they checked each one.

Fuck 'em :321GFY

crazy guys

Of course, thats what they did to Limewire and other P2P programs.... it got so fulll of crap that it became unusable

What a great brand name. GUBA :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

That one really sticks in your head well.

it is a good name :) it does stick well . infact today i was curious about the word because i was reading a news article about an iraq mosque being blown up today and they said it was a "GUBA MOSQUE". So i was like wtf ? hmmm , never heard that word before . looked it up and couldnt find much but i suppose it stand for

Global Usenet Binaries Access

Who gives a flying fuck? Its not like there are a ton of other services out there that allow free upload. And yes even to copyrighted videos.

Isn't Goober a baby food brand? :1orglaugh

no legal ones. .. theres lots of cp sites out there too , so by your logic those are ok ?

As you can see by the thread a few people do give a flying fuck.

gerber..

The key is to have all your videos watermarked and quality content. If people find a couple of them for free and like them, THEY WILL PAY for the complete site.

P2P, Newsgroup, and YouTube style sites are never gonna end, honestly its a reality that needs to be faced at this point. Bitching about it on GFY isnt gonna change it either.

So change your mindframe on how to exploit it for free promotion, not how you can stop it, because you never will.

So its okay because 'everybody's doing it'?

Get the U.S. Congress on the phone - we're scrapping all copyright laws now...since everybody's infringing nowadays.

:thumbsup i totally agree with what your saying , nobody is "bitching" , just a healthy discussion.. and yes healthy discussions do change things.. how fast did the guba skin get pulled ?

i also think your also missing the way guba works.. they wont find "some" of them . They way guba operates they will find ALL of them . why pay you when they can find the same videos in more formats on guba.. and more..

I havent seen a single full siterip on there personally.

That's fucked up.

See sig everybody.

:)

there are plenty of big upload sites that have been hosting copyright content for years. rapidshare.de, yousendit.com, megaupload.com just to name a few. they're just not searchable.

You know what I find the most interesting? That gube is an appoved ASACP site.

Go figure.

Alex

You really dont like them eh smokey?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Guba can go fuck themselves, they have some bad things happening on their site.

Can somebody please list all the programs/services GUBA owns or works directly with please ;)

its time for GUBA to ride on the bandwagon

there you go, have a look at that thread

http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=592555

Hahaha! Too funny!

I thought they were switching to Skin Video ? Or are they sort of seperating Adult from Guba so they market Guba more mainstream ?

sorry, but GUBA has gone *way* past the point of a source of free promotion... i have personally had two of my own smaller paysites ripped totally and labeled as such ("siterip" w/ URL) show up on GUBA and had to go through their ridiculous charade of asking them to remove content they had no right to be selling in the first place.

GUBA is no longer just an indexer of the usenet, not when they are hosting the content themselves and *REPACKAGING* and *RE-ENCODING* media they have no right to alter or provide. when you look at the more common usenet indexers like newzbin.com (who indexes groups but is not a NNTP provider) it is obvious GUBA is providing a much different service, and reaping the financial rewards from it that they shouldn't be entitled to... site owners shouldn't have to police their damn site for them.

just because they have pilfered a lot of money w/ their operation doesn't somehow make them or their rogue business model legit all of a sudden... worse than CJ and their content-thieving history by a hundredfold. it takes more than a booth at a convention or paid promotion in our industry circles to suddenly make you NOT A CROOK.

i hope any affiliate people who promotes their scam portal find themselves in the future blacklisted from legitimate programs and outfits, which would be all the sweeter if GUBA gets taken down w/ a flood of lawsuits... as a paysite owner i'd have no pity on anyone who promotes and facilitates them.

oh, and GUBA... i hope you all die in the streets penniless and insane.. http://twash.com/iku/leperkiss.gif

Lets Ban Guba.

hmmmm a lot of playa haters

lol, yeah right pal... playa haters. the same kind of "player haters" who don't like being pickpocketed or carjacked. theres a difference between being a player and being a fucking thief..

That last part is especially interesting. Isn't it just like ImageCash then, and you guys were all over ImageCash. You can upload stolen member area videos now if you want, and they'll pay you for it.
