MOD Films is not just about video. Repeat. This is not just about video....
From TechCrunch � Online Video Sites: Breeding Like Rabbits:
The problem with all these sites is that I don’t think the time of the amateur video has really come yet. Whereas everyone has a digital camera these days (minimally on their cell phone) to power sites like Flickr, digital video cameras are relatively rare. So while there’s amateur stuff out there, it still pales in terms of quantity and quality to the professional (copyrighted) stuff.
So the ultimate winner here isn’t going to be the guy with the best video editing features, per se - it’ll be the guy who can get around these copyright issues, and even convince copyright holders to treat their service as a marketing platform, licensing their viral marketing videos and clips for the users to play with and remix. Till that happens I wouldn’t bank on any of these companies surviving for the long haul.
