eyeVio, YouTube, and the Expansion of the Creative Commons
Sony’s YouTube competitor eyeVio sure looks slick. Interestingly, the default license for eyeVio content appears to be a Creative Commons Attribution License. Given the growing mainstream acceptance of CC licensed content, the pool of available open content — the commons, that is — might soon reach a tipping point after which building specifically user empowering technology (as opposed to user restraining technology) will be viable as a business model on a large scale. Who knows, maybe that’s when basement operations like TVEase.net take off. Interesting times ahead at the IP/antitrust interface, indeed.
