ClipSyndicate and Fox in Partnership

ClipSyndicate™ is a B2B video platform that enables broadcasters and other video content producers to generate new revenue streams and extend their brand into the “Long Tail” of the Internet by syndicating video clips to thousands of web sites which need specific content.

So for example if i’m a technology website , i can go to ClipSyndicate technology section and publish videos on my website in a legal fashion. It’s like NBBC (The National Broadband Co.) only unlike NBBC which is a joint venture of NBC and its affiliates, ClipSyndicate is open to all. Earnings are advertisement based.

ClipSyndicate™ today signed an agreement with FOX Television Stations -to syndicate its news content to thousands of vertical Web sites in the ClipSyndicate Video Syndication Network. Now web site editors and bloggers have the ability to publish video news content produced by FOX.

Organizations can submit broadcast quality MPEG 2 internet video and B-roll footage, photos and product images, audio soundbites and other multimedia content. MultiVu has the service on per project basis - and not based on contracts.

This service is ideal PR firms/departments, organizations and entities interested in posting media assets for a product launch or specific media campaign on a per project basis. For journalists, this offers a one-stop-shop, making reporting more efficient and accurate — which can help to generate better coverage for the organization’s news.

In one of my earlier post (Digital marketplace for online video news) i wrote about NewsMarket which offers kind of the same services. I also noticed that some of the videos on MultiVu are using Brightcove as the distribution platform.

Web Video Violence Act

Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-Fla.) has introduced the Web Video Violence Act this week which would increase penalties on violent crimes where the acts have been videotaped by the perpetrators and posted online.

“The recent trend of posting videotaped attacks onto websites like MySpace is especially disturbing since these videos are clearly intended to further humiliate the victims as well as spread fear and intimidation,” Diaz-Balart said.

As online video becomes mainstream - and effects all dimensions of life -business, law, education, society, culture, etc we are going to see more regulation around online video.
What remains to be seen is - will these laws hinder online video growth or act as a catalyst.
