An instant classic
So a new business model has emerged on the web.
Wait for a killer, illegal video to be posted on YouTube - grab a copy yourself and put it on your site -as you’re sure it’ll get yanked down by YouTube soon enough.
And enjoy the flow. That’s what’s happened with the Natalie Portman rap video. It’s been pulled from YouTube and I’ve had three different folks point me to their site - if yah wanna see it.
An instant classic - for sure:
Now I wonder if there’s a secondary affiliate market for guys like me who POINT to these stashed videos.

How come I found it with the YouTube search this morning, then? I’m confused. http://youtube.com/watch?v=qmuEX1DOdUw&search=portman

Mix Digg with Bittorrent and the they’ll never be able to remove the content once it’s released. While not the most legal thing it will surely make them realise they’ll never win by sending in the lawyers and might make them share their content and allow their audience to play with their “food”.
