Irony Alert: NYC's Anti-Piracy Propaganda Campaign Using 'Free' YouTube
from the free-free-free dept
A few weeks back, we wrote about the anti-piracy propaganda campaign that NYC has been running, paid for by taxpayer dollars, which spreads typical MPAA FUD, and concludes with the line: "There's no such thing as a free movie." However, in looking over the campaign, I just realized that the videos are hosted on YouTube... for free. In other words, while NYC and its Hollywood friends are claiming that if you get something for free, it must be illegal, they're making use of free online services themselves. Without YouTube, they'd have to pay for the hosting, bandwidth, streaming software, etc. themselves. But this way, they get it for free.
Now, it's absolutely true that YouTube could monetize the videos with ads (though, I don't see any on that video right now), but that sort of reinforces the point. There are all sorts of business models that allow you to offer something for "free" to the end user, but are monetized elsewhere. YouTube does exactly that. It offers what would otherwise be quite expensive (hosting, bandwidth, streaming software, etc.) and gives it all away for free, and has built a whole business around that. There's nothing saying that the movie industry can't do the same thing. Rather than falsely stating that there's no such thing as a "free" (to the consumer) movie, there are certainly plenty of ways that the movie industry could monetize movies that were offered free to consumers. It's just that the legacy players choose not to. And then complain. And get politicians to waste taxpayer money...

I've got a MacBook with a Core 2 Duo CPU. I think it's about 18 months old. It took about 2 hours for it to burn a DVD I created in iDVD. Subsequent copies could be made from the original in about 20 minutes each. I recently had to digitize some analog tapes and those were recorded to my laptop in real time, so an hour of video took an hour just to get into the laptop. If you need to overlay a logo/watermark of some sort or do any basic editing, add more time still.
If they're going to need to trim the video, add a fade in and fade out, do any custom menus, try and clean up the audio, etc., it will take even longer. If they're using some sort of standalone DVD duplicator (your "dubbing" machine) to do this, then this is also dependent on the speed of that. If they have a really old model that only burns at 4x, that will take six times longer than a model than burns at 24x.
You really need to figure out what they're doing ("making DVDs" isn't concise) and the hardware they're doing it with ("good Macs" isn't helpful either).

Making money with videos is a more unusual way to make money. People think that videos can't make you money, but they are wrong. Making money with videos is not only very profitable but fun. Like all other things though it requires dedication and hard work. In this article I will explain how to make money with videos.
There are some things you must understand before you start making videos. You can't just put together any random video and expect to make money from it. You have to create value, it has to be something that people want to see. If people aren't interested you won't make money. Unlike most ways of making money, making videos requires reputation. The more reputation you have the more profitable your videos will become. So consistency is important when learning how to make money with online videos. Youtube may be free, but you can learn how to make money with youtube videos. There are actually many ways you can make money with Youtube videos, but I'm going to stick with the main topic how to make money with videos. Youtube is a great way to make money with videos only if you have a reputation. After your videos get hundreds of thousands of views and you have a thousands of subscribes then you can get what is called a Youtube partner to create revenue with advertisements.
The best way to start making videos is through websites like break.com and metacafe.com. Break.com pays upfront for videos that are spectacular. Your video has to make it to break's homepage in order for you to earn money. Break.com is also known for being strict and it's more like a popularity contest then a video contest. If you're wondering how much does Metacafe pay that is a good question. Metacafe is a completely different website than break.com and can make you a lot of money if you have decent videos. Metacafe pays $100 for each video that obtains 20,000 videos and $5 for every 1,000 views there after. So if your video has over a million views we're talking thousands of dollars here.
If you keep making videos eventually commercial advertisements or somebody might like your video and might want to pay you to use it. Trutv is always looking for videos from the internet to play on their show. Commercials feature some Youtube videos that aren't even popular. Just keep creating videos with value and the money will come in and remember if you want to learn how to make money with videos then you have to put in the hard work just like anything else!
