		<description>[...] After failing to reach an agreement, Viacom has demanded that YouTube pull down all its video clips from Comedy Central and the rest of its cable channels. Those clips are estimated to number 100,000. And even more surprising, Viacom said an outside consultant estimates its clips have generated about 1.2 billion streams on YouTube. You may remember back in November when Viacom asked that YouTube pull down selected clips from Comedy Central, but after a quick purge, they were back in full force. [...]</description>

		<description>He can use those clips b/c the same conglomerate that owns his show owns those stations too. 

Example:  Conan O'Brien getting insanely excited when "Walker Texas Ranger" got picked up on a station owned by his company.  Now he can use those clips at his disposal.</description>

		<description>[...] Reuters quotes a Viacom source confirming the company did ask YouTube to take down &#8220;some&#8221; clips as part of &#8220;ongoing negotiations on how the companies can work together.&#8221; So a negotiating ploy, perhaps? Many Comedy Central videos are still available after Friday&#8217;s purge. Meanwhile, a Colbert Report fan site writes:  The glory days of YouTube are officially over. I knew it would happen, but I never thought it would happen only three months after I started up this website. (sigh) Now, all is not totally lost. Comedy Central does have Motherload. However, one cannot post Motherload clips onto a blog, or bookmark them and save as favorites, or actually play them with any relative ease. But at least it’s something. [...]</description>

		<description>Comedy Central was one of the first out of the gate with their broadband channel, Motherload. They were able to put a bunch of ad sales dollars in place built on the traffic primarily of Daily Show and Colbert. My guess on the move is that they need to make their sales numbers for the year and needed to elimate the blatantly easy to get to alternatives to seeing their premiere traffic drivers online. I would expect their strategy to change in the new year with what makes sense in the market place. Oh - I believe they are expanding their feature set on motherload in Q4/Q1 making videos easier to share - probably want to test out the effects of this unhindered by easy competition from YouTube. All in all makes sense for right now, let’s see how they roll with the punches.</description>

		<description>[...] John Battelle and others posted about YouTube removing copyrighted clips, including from the Daily Show, during the past several days. Here&#8217;s the NY Times&#8217; summary overview on the subject. Copyrighted material is partly why YouTube became so popular. Google now needs to do a bunch of quick deals to ensure that material remains on YouTube. If it fails to do those deals and keeps &#8220;purging&#8221; copyrighted content, YouTube fans will start to lose interest. I dispute the idea that user-generated content is the principal attraction of the site. That&#8217;s only partly true: you need both &#8220;the head&#8221; and &#8220;the tail&#8221; for success.

		<description>Lorne Michael's from two seasons ago;
"You mean we have a guy named Finesse?
---

On the issue of Comedy Central, I have no direct knowledge, but that hasn't stopped me from talking, before.

Prior to the acquisition, YouTube was like a guerilla site that hadn't figured-out how to make money. Now, they've been bought by a major internet company, who has not only expressed that they intend to monetize the thing, but it sounds like they have a viable plan with a proven track record. So, why should Comedy Central give away their bread and butter to make money for a very profitable company? Especially, considering that CC has invested in their "Motherload" thing and they're now starting to produce original content. The "Daily Show" and "Colbert" clips are like their loss-leaders, it's like a store pricing milk at a discount, it gets people in the door and while they're there, they are more likely to purchase (view) another product.
---

And finally, if any Viacommies are reading these comments; Your interface does need work and I could detail the problems, but this probably isn't the right thread.</description>
