See Google was struggling to get it’s content providers the much promised “revenue” for viewing short and feature length films.

Google Video was a great idea, but when you charge for something that most people in the net expect or pirate for free, then people aren’t going to pay.

No doubt the clips that will be charged for are from people who think they will make money in selling the content.

I don’t agree with piracy at all. Being a content creator, I can’t feed my kids and pay my rent, yet alone pay teams of people to make content, if we never sell any – and currently our costs of production are in the millions and our sales are in the thousands. Subsequently although we know our content is pirated al over the place – people have even sent me links, or “Hey you seen this video” and shown me their iPhone playing my $1m production not even realising I own it!

We just can’t create more content, especially in a credit crunch – which is really a depression. So all the actors and crew who have worked and given much of their time on the prospects of future revenue are not working retail jobs!

Instead we’ll make crappy cheap low cost reality TV style content that costs nothing more than “Hey guys we’ve got a few hours, grab a camera lets shoot some birds in the park!”

Must be time to move to the porn industry. Mainstream Hollywood movies make $8billion in Box office and DVD sales, the Porn Industry makes $48 billion a year in just DVD sales.

Will we put our content on the net – well porn sure! People will pay for it, it’s cheap to make and there are no shortage of willing people who want to be paid $500 for sex! Production qualities are low cost and cheap. And with people growing up and entering their teens and wanting psychological stimulation all the time, maybe utopia will be reliaased and Pixar will go broke trying to convince us that Race Cars are people too!

(I love Pixar BTW! I have all the DVDs! Nothing like an Original Retail Package! one for the Kids to trash and one for the Collection behind glass!)

Anyway, I do agree with the ‘litter’ comment too Youtube is not a site I go to often because trying to find anything useful is often more frustrating than using google to find something interesting.
