Let’s face it, YouTube has past it sell by date. How many lip-syncing, Mentos Diet-Coke drinking and Lonelygirl15 video dating can you do? I want to mash-up my videos, build upon the creativity of others.
Creative Commons gives us the ideological and the legal structure to do that, but the video sharing sites limit the use of video content.
Did I mention that User Generated Content manufacturers (You) are not getting paid. Should I call out: “Proletarians UGC of all countries, unite!”
Further thoughts
- Lip-sync videos could help fight obesity. (before | after).
- Ad candidate for Apple’s “I’m a Mac, and I’m a PC” campaign: Linux (see also: PS3 vs.Wii)
Take it away its addictive and has a bad effect on our attention economy.

So true, but…
Don’t you mean “UGCM of all countries, unite!”?
Or perhaps UGCC (2nd C for creators) sounds snappier.
Or do you expect the content itself to unite?
