future.....

 that is why  of  course is good to keep your own servers on line but...  
USE THEM THE MAINSTREAM ALSO... if  you an get content on there  remember it 
can be  
used to point back to your own  independent server in the notes and urls
 with he  video on their  page.. ( I keep repeating myself eh?)

Interesting  that you chose to put a video about the big media take  
over on  YouTube. I guess the conversation of late has been discussing  
the  fact that YouTube IS the new big media. I can't entirely explain  
why  but activists really seem to have lowered their guard in terms of   
using the new corporate media. Obviously it's quite different,   
corporate media didn't used to distribute almost anyones content but   
there is a quite disturbing relationship emerging where once all the   
corporate media did was sell our eyes to advertisers, now they take   
our content (and our thoughts and feelings) and our social networks   
and sell our labour (and eyes) to advertisers (or data mine our   
online personalities for marketing companies).

The new corporate  media seem to be becoming even more centralised  
than the old  version. Does any one media company dominate the global  
TV market to  the same extent that Google/YouTube dominate the online  
video space?  A few giant landlords are really starting to dominate  
this space,  they give us a patch of virtual earth to cultivate our  
content and  social networks and take the vast majority of the value  
for  themselves.

Because we're such small fish in such a big pond we never  seem to  
notice they are making so much money from our us, after all  we got a  
global distribution network out of the deal and some pretty  cool  
features alternative media aren't offering, which we're all  currently  
aware of.

That's probably a long enough rant for  now. Slightly more thought out  
thoughts along similar lines  here
