It’s ironic that at the same time the first music file sharing case goes to trial, UC Berkley has uploaded over 300 hours of video including lectures on bioengineering, physics, chemistry, peace and conflict studies and others. UC Berkley obviously favors the free dissemination of its intellectual property. Many other universities, including UC Berkley, offer free lectures through iTunes U in the form of a podcast.

As you may have noticed, we use YouTube here for the hosting of our video reviews but next year, that will probably change. Gizmodo reports that YouTube will soon be adding 30 sec video ads to the beginning of video content beginning in 2008. Somehow I think that will lead to a huge decrease in video viewing, particularly in the viral video viewing where videos are embedded in blogs, like the one above that was on Dionne Galace’s today. What a huge disappointment. Via Gizmodo. |
