Veoh blocks low-monetizing countries, then caves protest to unblock Veoh

Veoh blocks many countries, such as Argentina, Mexico, Malaysia etc. Even if you get a message reading "Veoh is no longer available in (country)". YouTube, Dailymotion, Metacafe, Google Videos -- they're allowed to stay up. It seems that there are many people are protesting Veoh's blockage. You may have noticed when you upload a video that contained a copyrighted song to Veoh, they keep removing videos due to "infringements of copyrights". And they have the right to terminate their accounts.

I have bought 2 items yesterday: The AC adapter replacement for my Toshiba laptop and a pair of Adidas Superstars. The other two items will have to wait because I don't have much money. I will not be able to continue exercising after June 29th.

Quit Youtube! Move to Veoh!

Quit Youtube! Move to Veoh!

There are some good reasons to leave Youtube.

On YouTube:
- You can upload videos of 100 MB and 10 minutes.
- YouTube usernames can only be the upper/lowecase letters (A-Z) and the numbers (0-9).
- YouTube has the comment ratings.
- YouTube has the right to terminate the account (e.g. "This account is suspended.", "This account is closed." (when a user closes their YT account), and "Your account has been permanently disabled.").
- YouTube has the right to remove a video that has infringing material (e.g. "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim of (company name)") or a violation of terms of use (e.g. "This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.").
- The threat of jerks and fuckwads keep me away from creating a Youtube account.

On Veoh:
- You can upload videos of ANY size and length!
- Veoh usernames can only be the upper/lowercase letters (A-Z), the numbers (0-9), and the hyphen-minus sign (-).
- Veoh has very high quality.
- Veoh has more features.
- FOR PRINCESS_JIME: you may want to google this or read this.

Is YouTube keep suspending their accounts like that?

YouTube has the right to delete any Arashi-related stuff from YouTube, and why? They did the following -- such as a terms of use violation and the copyright claim (e.g. "This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim of MusicOn! TV Inc.")

Then I noticed that Veoh has the right to terminate anyone's Veoh accounts, you upload a video on Veoh with music using Windows Media Player, then Veoh removes it, and they send you a warning,

I bought the Betabrite sign.

nobody@vox.com(Cory Roberts) — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 01:15:26 -0500

I bought the Betabrite sign for $240.99 (+ shipping, no tax, they didn't add any tax).
Again, I'm typing in Japanese (see below)...

変わらない毎日から抜け出したくて一人歩き出した　ああ
この手につかんだ地図を広げればたどりつけるとおもったんだ。。。
だけど勘違いひとりねつよくなったってきがしていた
自分の弱さ見つけかすむいくてでもひかりさしてみんあのかおをうかべる！

リア・ヂゾン　-　means "Leah Dizon" in Japanese.

あなたのBetabrite signのひとすじゃな￥２４０．９９（+　ｓｈｉｐｐｉｎｇ、ｎｏ　ｔａｘ、ｔｈｅｙ　ｄｉｄｎ’ｔ　ａｄｄ　ａｎｙ　ｔａｘ）。
モニン具娘。。。

I was watching Rashomon （ら書門） (rented from WOPL), a 1950 Japanese movie, but in black and white. I paid $150.00 for it, and it should ship soon so I will run the Betabrite sign for myself.

Rashomon (1950) Import Version

Akira Kurosawa directed Rashomon (he got destroyed in 1998 in Tokyo, Japan). More information can be found in: http://www.answers.com/topic/rashomon. It's pronounced ra-SHOU-min.

I really don't know I'm going to put the Arashi PVs (which they are subbed) again because youtube deleted the Arashi PVs (which they are subbed) because of the "copyright claim" stuff, I'll put the Arashi videos which are non-PVs.

ピアノミニアルバム ARASHI 嵐

Here's another Arashi book; I know it has Japanese text but I should learn how to speak more Japanese!

I know youtube kept deleting stuff because of the "copyright claim" and "terms of use violation" stuff, and they can delete their accounts if a user on YouTube see the message that state: "This account is suspended." (when a YouTube member do a repeated or severe vioation of YT's TOU) and "This account is closed." (when a YouTube member closes their account). I'm going to use Veoh and put my stuff in the Veoh community.

Private Event - 2007/10/17

nobody@vox.com(Cory Roberts) — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 22:57:48 -0400

There is a private event on reading 12 books, including a book about Philippines... so I won't continue blogging tomorrow because I have a lot of books to read if I want to get a new laptop...~~maybe I should blow up my old one becuase they do that on YouTube~~...If I have read 100 books I will start another deal to get the Beta Brite Sign from Amazon.com homepage (costs $259.99, and need to save at least $320.01, I saw that on YouTube (http://youtube.com/ecdt1089/), but I don't YouTube...) I might do Veoh, though.

I'll compare between Beta Brite Prism and Beta Brite Classic (I'm getting the Beta Brite Prism, after that, Thrillville: Off the Rails...

Beta Brite Prism:

Full Color Display.
You can type any message.
Can be used in resident areas.
Has a software to create LED text and graphics on your computer.
Has four original colors: red, orange, orange-yellow, yellow, yellow-green, green; and two new colors: blue and purple.
Cheaper in Amazon.com homepage/Sam's Club (in-club only, not for Amazon).
Can be found on eBay (for people who normally/generally bid on).
Has an IR remote control.
And many more...

Beta Brite Classic:

You can type any message.
Has the messages such as "PLEASE DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE", etc.
DOES NOT have blue and purple colors.
Expensive (?).
Has an IR remote control.
DOES NOT have a software to create LED text.
Does serif text.

Beta Brite Prism has more features; Beta Brite Classic has less. I reccommend... Beta Brite Prism! But, I have to concentrate on the laptop for now, because I cannot concentrate on these item (which I wanted, as described above on this post) unless this laptop concentration is finished; I can only concentrate one item per deal; and I do not want to waste money, if you want to get on eBay, it's http:// www dot ebay dot com (NOTE: replace the words "dot" with the full stop sign (.) and ignore the spaces. If you prefer Amazon and do not want to get outbid or do not want to bid something click this link. I have 12 books to read tomorrow. So, hope I will get the new laptop... when I get the new laptop I have to re-download all the stuff that I downloaded: the Winamp stuff, the whatever... and re-install the stuff that I use.

See you soon!
