In short, now you can enjoy full length movies on YouTube (check here)  without paying any fee. YouTube recently striked a successful deal with US-based studios like MGM, Lionsgate and Sony Pictures. Also, YouTube has a similar deal with BlinkBox which is based in UK. Over 400 full length Hollywood as well as Bollywood movies are available on YouTube for fre public viewing.

Donagh O’Malley, YouTube head of video partnerships, said, “This is one of many efforts to ensure that people can find all the different kinds of video they want to see, from bedroom vlogs and citizen journalism reports to full-length films and TV shows.”

We will be waiting to see when live games (like cricket) and on demand movies (paid ofcourse) hit YouTube. Till then enjoy the likes of Andaz Apna Apna (famous Bollywood flick) and The Best Of Three Stooges.

As usual, the parent company Google wants more homemade content and announced today that a new special program is about to start and that it will bring some considerable revenues for the uploaders. At this time, Google selected only some of the most popular YouTube uploaders, but the campaign will be expanded soon. The procedure is quite simple: the online video sharing service selects some of the uploaders and sends their clips to be published on the YouTube partners’ channels. After the company introduces some adverts, the revenue will be shared with the user depending on the clip’s settings.

“Participating user-partners will be treated as other content partners and will have the ability to control the monetization of the videos they create. Once they’ve selected a video to be monetized, we’ll place advertising adjacent to their content so participating user-partners can reap the rewards from their work,” the YouTube team announced today.

At this time, the new program is available only to the selected users but the company plans to expand the offer very soon. However, this is another sign that YouTube wants more user-generated content and encourages the members to upload their own clips. In the past, the YouTubers helped Google survive just after the Viacom removal was confirmed when the search giant removed no more than 100.000 clips from the database. At that time, the Mountain View company sustained its number of visitors was boosted by the homemade content that attracts the majority of users.

Among several features recently introduced, YouTube also debuted a new ability, codenamed Active Sharing that is currently a part of TestTube. Active Sharing was built with a single purpose: that of allowing other members of the page to see who is watching a certain clip. “Are you a video trendsetter, an expert at finding the cool stuff on YouTube? Now you can share what you find immediately by Active Sharing with other YouTube users. Click the “Start Active Sharing” button, then go watch some videos. Your username will show up on the page of the videos as you watch them, and a list of the latest ones you’ve seen will appear in your profile,” the employees describe the feature.

Your username will appear on a certain clip’s page if you enable the feature from the TestTube page, but it is displayed only for 30 minutes. A list of the clips you’ve viewed is also created on your profile page, helping you to organize the videos easier than before.

I have no idea if this major update was designed to make YouTube more competitive for the other similar services on the Internet but it brings an impressive new functionality to the users. Recently, YouTube was threatened from all around, no matter if it was a company that sued Google for copyright infringement or a rival that prepares a new solution. On Friday, Google’s online video sharing service recorded the first major hit after Sony debuted eyeVio, a similar service that is currently available only for the Japanese users.

YouTube Will Give You That http://www.nofullstop.com/2007/04/23/want-fame-youtube-will-give-you-that/ http://www.nofullstop.com/2007/04/23/want-fame-youtube-will-give-you-that/#comments Mon, 23 Apr 2007 12:32:00 +0000 Salman http://www.nofullstop.com/2007/04/23/want-fame-youtube-will-give-you-that/ Ryan Fitzgerald is unemployed, lives with his father and so, he decided to offer his ear, to anyone who wants to call. After posting a video with his cell phone number on YouTube on Friday, the 20-year-old told The Boston Globe he has received more than 5,000 calls and text messages.

Fitzgerald said he wanted to “be there,” for anyone who needed to talk. “I never met you, but I do care,” a spiky-haired Fitzgerald said into the camera on his YouTube posting.

He planned to take and return as many calls he could, but on Monday at 5 a.m., his T-Mobile cell phone payment will begin charging him for his generosity when he is no longer eligible for free weekend minutes.

“I haven’t quite figured out what I’m going to do about it,” he said. “Come Monday, no way I’m going to just hang up on people and say, ‘I don’t have the minutes.’”

Fitzgerald, who said people consider him “easy to talk to,” was inspired by Juan Mann. YouTube video clips of Mann offering “Free Hugs” to strangers became wildly popular on the user-controlled Internet site.

“Some people’s own mothers won’t take the time to sit down and talk with them and have a conversation,” Fitzgerald said. “But some stranger on YouTube will. After six seconds, you’re not a stranger anymore, you’re a new kid I just met.”

Its your turn, upload a video. Who knows you may get your future girl/boy friend this way!

Answer: “Threaten” to sue YouTube.Viacom learnt this lesson from its dealings with Google’s $1.6 billion acquisition. Having forced YouTube to remove all its illegally posted video clips, Viacom’s traffic is dramatically up over the past month. Up 90% on Comedy Central, up 50% on MTV, up 30% on Nickelodeon. Viacom’s revenue is up too — profits quadrupling in the fourth quarter of 2006 to $480 million with Philippe Dauman, the company’s new chief executive, promising the Financial Times $500 million from digital sales in 2007.

Old and new media companies are vying for as big a slice as possible of future digital revenues. Negotiations with YouTube, for which Google paid more than $1.6bn last year, are seen as a key test owing to the video site’s dominant position.

Since Viacom’s move last month, NBC Universal and CBS have also taken a more aggressive stance towards YouTube.

The morale of this tale? Tough copyright infringement threats work. Other large media companies like Sony, Universal Music and Warner Music would also be advised to go after YouTube in the same aggressive manner as Viacom. It’s only be actively policing the Internet that content owners can transform the anarchy of the Web 2.0 Internet into a realm where content owners and consumers can both profit from lawfully posted content. Even Microsoft understands this. See, for example, Tom Rubin’s (Microsoft’s Associate General Council) attack on Google in tomorrow’s Financial Times in which he describes its copyright strategy as “cavalier” and exposes the way it is “exploiting books, music, films and television without permission.” [via Andrew Keen in ZdNet's Blog]

If more and more companies walk on Viacom’s path then the day is not far away when youtube will have “only” the legal content. And if you give a eye to that content, you will find it to be useless.

Long live movies (and there producing companies), long live humans and I would love if youtube long lives too…
