Nice.

So have they admitted the future of YouTube yet? I mean, it can't stay like this forever. No charge for posting or watching, and no ads at the beginning of videos? Obviously this has to be an introductory period to get everyone hooked on it, and then it will go to some sort of pay format. But have they admitted what it will be yet? Maybe something that reflects the popularity of your movie--like a small charge to initially upload it, but as more and more people watch it (and the ad inserted at the beginning) they begin to share fractions of the revenue with you? Surely they'll have to do like Adobe Reader, and keep it always free to watch...
