terry is right, worked at comedy central, certain daily show/colbert content has clips from other places (ie. Disney/ABC, AP) that can only be up for limited time without violating either licensing agreements and/or fair use clauses. I actually don’t think this is too much of a problem. Most bloggers either won’t notice or won’t be too bothered - they’re mostly concerned with being first to embed stuff on their blog. Comedy Central wanted to make sure that folks who want to post that funny thing from Daily Show ASAP on their blog go to Comedy Central to embed the content rather than YouTube. Two weeks down the road it not only doesn
t makes a difference - but eventually YouTube (or GooTube) will have to make same deals to use that content legally at that point.

No, you have it the wrong way around. Comedy Central is using video and other content that it receives from ABC and AP.

Now I’m even more confused. A Viacom/MTV property is providing video to AP that’s then used on Disney/ABC? Where?

I believe The Daily Show has deals for content with the AP and for video with ABC.

I don’t get it. Licensing agreements with… ? (Comcast/TimeWarner/etc.? — that doesn’t sound right.)
