From the stupid video file, here's a story about a film critic that got busted selling "screener" DVDs (for a really low amount). Surprising that he'd be so short sighted, given how easy they are to trace.
I have a friend who is an attorney, and he's defending an employee that let one of these screener DVDs "slip" to a buddy. The buddy put it on the web.
It's 2006 folks. Nothing you do online is secret.
There’s a fairly new skillset required of marketers as sponsored, user-generated video takes shape this year. Historically, marketers are trained to listen to the customer, shape the messages, and manage the agency to achieve “reach, frequency and single-minded propositions.” Rinse. Repeat. Along comes viral video. At first, marketers sit on the sidelines. They watch. Then…
It’s not too late to make that killer April Fool’s video. Maybe you can get it on Metacafe’s April Fool’s section (see blog post, and April Fool’s channel), and get filthy rich. Here are some tips I probably won’t follow because I’m too sleepy to bother. Fool the viewer. Make them think it’s about one…

As you might expect, these get weirder each clip. 1) Stephen speaks about the eventual merger of online video devices (20 seconds) 2) How far out can the Institute predict?…
It’s been a very long time since I’ve discovered an article about online video that made me shout “Amen.” Courtesy of ReelSEO, here’s “Three Types of Online Video for Business.” I especially like this visual below (the chart not the head shot, mkay).

Screeners are one of the pleasures of dumpsterdiving. When I was homeless in L.A., finding screeners was a joy (I had a laptop in my shopping cart which I kept charged up in AM/PM restrooms–and you thought us bums were only taking showers in there).
