The End of YouTube (as we know it)?

By Mark Evans | Published: October 28, 2006

One of YouTube's most compelling features are clips of the Daily Show and the Colbert Report. Well, it looks like Comedy Central has asked YouTube to take them down, and YouTube has complied. Boing Boing reports that if you do a search for the Daily Show, you get this message: “This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.” If all the good stuff on YouTube is being removed until the video sharing service gets a copyright license, does this mean there are fewer reasons to even visit YouTube? It could not be long before you may have to pay for all the good stuff on YouTube such as the Daily Show – or, perhaps, see a lot of advertising to support a “free” model.

    There is concern about copyright infringements. My understanding is that Google will allow YouTube to be it own identity allowing to flourish as it is. However, I am sure they will impose their standards of operation which may change YouTube. But I think this will put Google Video to the top of the poll.
