Daily Clerks

There is a great article over at C|Net that talks about how a company will begin putting ads into these videos so that the creator can get paid.

This is a particularly interesting idea, because regardless of how it gets distributed, the create will still get paid. I wonder how they will track this though. Especially if its distributed through bit torrent. Who’s to say that a person won’t download their own video a million times and watch it a million times. I bet they would have to have the ability to track by ip address. I would then create a key for the video to play. this key/codec would be downloaded from our servers so that it will initiate the video to play. This would allow us to track the number of times a video is played, track ip address, and check the region. Otherwise, how owuld you know how much to pay the creator?

Check it out nonetheless. It’s a pretty interesting idea.
