Centurion Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 YouTubers to get ad money share By Tim Weber Business editor, BBC News website, Davos People who upload their own films to video-sharing website YouTube will soon get a share of the ad revenue. YouTube founder Chad Hurley confirmed to the BBC that his team was working on a revenue-sharing mechanism that would "reward creativity". The system would be rolled out in a couple of months, he said, and use a mixture of adverts, including short clips shown ahead of the actual film. YouTube has more than 70m users a month and was recently bought by Google. The offer applies only to people who own the full copyright of the videos that they are uploading to the YouTube website.

GorunNova Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Well... at least they're letting some of the ad revenue reach the people who create and add popular videos. On the other hand, I bet this'll lead to a rise in people adding crap to try and get money. ^^' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
