While I won’t comment on the plagiarism issue, I do have a bit to say about the bandwidth theft issue.

I am one of a fairly small number of publishers currently in the inVideo beta.

You are required to host the .flv files you use on your own servers. Now, I am sure some people will use a service like KeepVid to get the URL of the .flv videos hosted on YouTube or Google video.

I’ve tried it in Adbrite’s interface, and it will accept the URL and use the video. However, if Google or Youtube really had a problem with it, they would just have to block Adbrite from accessing the videos. That is as simple as a single line in an Apache config file.

Of course they would, no new technology is being introduced here, just an implementation to use prior technology for publishers profit and an fairly unobtrusive advertisement for advertisers.

I’m sorry, but that is a tremendous stretch at best. The IMG tag alone does not allow you to automatically overlay a logo over the top of the image you leech nor does it automatically place ads in an around the image for you to profit from.

Sure, it allows you to leech bandwidth, but it’s nowhere near the one stop shop for bandwidth theft, content theft and plagiarism that InVideo is.

InVideo is significantly more powerful in this area.
