Πολλοί YouTubers θα δικαιούνται μερίδιο από τα έσοδα των διαφημίσεων
Νταβός
Όσοι ανεβάζουν προσωπικά βίντεο στο YouTube σύντομα μπορεί να έχουν μερίδιο από τα έσοδα των διαφημίσεων, ανέφερε ένας από τους ιδρυτές του δημοφιλούς δικτυακού τόπου στο Παγκόσμιο Οικονομικό Φόρουμ, στο Νταβός της Ελβετίας.
Ο Τσαντ Χάρλεϊ, ένας από τους ιδρυτές του YouTube, επιβεβαίωσε σε δημοσιογράφο του BBC, ότι η ομάδα του δουλεύει πάνω στην ανάπτυξη του ανταποδοτικού μηχανισμού που θα ανταμείψει την δημιουργικότητα των χρηστών.
Το σύστημα πρόκειται να μπει σε λειτουργία τους επόμενους μήνες, αφού βρίσκεται ακόμα στο στάδιο της ανάπτυξής του.
Το YouTube αναμένεται να χρησιμοποιεί ένα ειδικό σύστημα για την ηχητική αναγνώριση και την ταυτοποίηση του copyright των βίντεο που ανεβάζονται στο δικτυακό τόπο.
Ο Χάρλεϊ, μιλώντας στο BBC, αρνήθηκε να δώσει περισσότερες πληροφορίες αναφορικά με τις τεχνολογικές μεθόδους που ακολουθούνται για την ανάπτυξη του συστήματος.
Η προσφορά θα ισχύσει μόνο για όσους ανεβάζουν προσωπικά βίντεο, οπότε θα έχουν και τα αποκλειστικά πνευματικά δικαιώματα της διαχείρισής τους από το YouTube, όπως ανέφερε ο Χάρλεϊ σε ειδική συνεδρίαση για την κοινωνική δικτύωση στο Παγκόσμιο Οικονομικό Φόρουμ.
Κάποιοι δικτυακοί τόποι παρόμοιοι με το YouTube εφαρμόζουν ήδη το σύστημα ανταπόδοσης εσόδων αλλά δεν έχουν αναπτύξει το σύστημα αναγνώρισης του copyright.
Σημειώνεται ότι οι χρήστες του YouTube (τον περασμένο Νοέμβριο αγοράστηκε από το Google έναντι 1, 65 δισ. δολαρίων) έχουν φτάσει τα 70 εκατομμύρια.

28 December 1997; United Airlines 747-100; over Pacific Ocean near Japan: The aircraft encountered severe turbulence during cruise about two hours after departing Japan. One of the 346 passengers was killed. None of the 23 crew members were killed but three sustained serious injuries.
4 January 1998; Olympic Airways 747; over Atlantic Ocean:
Prior to the flight from Athens to New York, a passenger who had asthma and a history of sensitivity to secondhand smoke requested seating in the non-smoking area of the aircraft. Once onboard, the passenger's family discovered that their assigned seats were three rows ahead of the economy class smoking section. This smoking section was not partitioned off from the non-smoking section. Prior to takeoff and during the flight, one of the passenger's family members made three requests of the cabin crew to switch seats, but the cabin crew did not arrange for a switch into one of the 11 available unoccupied seats on the aircraft. Several hours into the flight, the passenger suffered a reaction to the ambient smoke and died.
A U.S. District Court determined that exposure to ambient second-hand smoke was the primary cause of the passenger's death. The U.S. Supreme Court, in a decision made on 24 February 2004, held that this event constituted an accident under Article 17 of the Warsaw Convention, an international treaty that among other things defines an accident as something that is an “unexpected or unusual event or happening that is external to the passenger.” There were 411 passengers on the flight.
