On the other hand, creators can choose to not allow embeds of their videos." Seems perfectly acceptable to monetize an embedded widget. What's so curious about the dynamic going on here? The widget/embed is getting something out of the relationship: eyeballs/distribution/audience. You don't get something for nothing Nick. I'd be certain to monetize widgets/embeds too. “Yet it seems a curious reality that in online video, apart from all other media, it has become perfectly acceptable to embed and monetize someone else’s content.

When Google launched their Video Ad Units yesterday, I thought it would have been much more like the Blinkx AdHoc ads, it's too bad it's not. It will be interesting to see if Blinkx can get enough Advertisers to make it worthwhile for publishers, and if their ad payout is any good. It would also be nice if they had an API for AdHoc, so that publishers don't have to go to the Blinkx website every time they want to use the Adhoc ads, but instead have the Ad code automatically generated using the API. The ability to customize the look and feel of the Ads would also be a huge plus.
