What I use YouTube for is not the usual commercially available stuff, or the home made video. There is a raft of stuff on there like videos of old bands of the 70's. Sure this stuff is copyrighted but the holders aren't publishing anything I can buy - but I can watch it on YouTube. Seems to me that in a Long Tail, Web Video World a "use it or lose it" sort of approach to rights may emerge, as there is no excuse to not make it commercially available if it exists - production and margketing csost are hardly an issue on the Web.

I believe Google Video has a huge limit (if there is one) to the number of minutes that your footage contains of your video so that there is a filtering process that takes place for this whereas YouTube only allows a maximum of a 20 minutes for each video to be uploaded. YouTube's 20 minute limit and Google's filtering process are a couple of ways to deter users from uploading full episodes of TV shows or full movies illegally. Clearly, users want to see their videos online and public right after its done uploading. ^Tault I’d say that main reason why YouTube took off faster than Google Video was because Google Video makes you wait days for your video to go public after uploading whereas YouTube just takes a few minutes.
