As for the point of copyright, is this not a bit redundant issue now? Surely its Youtubes liability and record labels do not seem to be in a rush to remove them as its completely free promotion. We use video’s every day on our site http://www.trackfeeder.com. We’ve not had a single label request for them to be moved, in fact its been the opposite – had a lot of requests to include tracks.

If you check out the DMB page I linked to above you'll see that I've organized everything into album views that at least to me seems superior to any of the "search" oriented music sites I've seen. VidWik has the same playlist & favoriting problems as Middio does but I've already worked out how to add a per/page RSS feeeds so users can subscribe to the latest videos added to a page so the other problems should be tractable as well. Of course the biggest challenge is going to be getting people to contribute but all it takes is one dedicated fan per band to create a nice catalog. With regards to copyright I totally believe artists need to be compensated for their works and I've primarily linked to Ad Supported content on sites like AOL Music and then backfilled with live recordings & fan videos from YouTube.

All sites embedded in Middio are legally uploaded to YouTube. The major recording companies have uploaded thousands and thousands of music videos that they legally own, but unfortunately are hard to find next to all of the teen lipsyncing and assorted fan-made videos. As for a business model, Middio is a tiny side-project of mine that I have invested relatively little time in over the course of the past few months. Amazon/iTunes affiliate links will be integrated before launch and non-obtrusive ads may be shown on pages where copyrighted material is not embedded. However, I was never really expecting on making Middio into a full-blown business. Over the next few months, we'll be working on integrating more and more services to make Middio the ultimate music mashup. We're already working on last.fm integration, which will make the Top 100 page much, much more accurate. Feel free to contact us with any more questions. Email is admin@middio.com. We'll be sending out quite a few more beta invites before launch so drop your email address on the homepage if you haven't already. Thanks for the interest in Middio! - Jake Hi all,
