uhg... they are doing this like they do TV, it will fail.

They need to target advertisement on whats in the video and first off that is to tie music videos and film/tv clips with their retail/legal owners to make purchases fast and simple. This can be used to aid deals with IP conglomerates and warm those who are anal(wanker music group) to the idea that they should not have absolute control over distribution, each view regardless of anything is a possible sale and they should cater to that as much as they can.

Also force ads suck have 2 picture/banner ads on the youtube page, and a random outro you are not forced to watch, you try and stick commercials into youtube YOU WILL FAIL.

also creating a premium account for 2$ a month or 25$ a year that allows you to link advertisement suggestions your self (fill out 5 key words to 3 product or so placement questionnaires so ads will key into them freqnalty) and if wish you can ban the use of video advertisement for your videos.

Do something for the consumer that allows them to use their fair use rights tor ave about stuff and allow them some inroads into the advertisement process via assisting the bots to chose ads for it.

They still insist on treating youtube,ect with an antiquated mindset, they need to drive ad assistance and legal purchasing "around" personal distribution.
