Re: Help Build The Archive!

So quick question on feasibility:

(not an original idea by the way, it was hinted at in the other thread)

The stated benefit of WFN over TBA is that WFN's archives are potentially more permanent, as long as WFN stays around or transitions maintenance of the archive if they ever move on.

The downsides of centralizing the videos are that you imply ownership of the material, but also that you also steer traffic away from the original hosting location. I think an embedded video (like on TBA) still doesn't highlight the work a team does to contribute the video very effectively (as say, a watermark with the team logo/#), but at least the view counts hit their YouTube account, not a 3rd party's.

Would it be an effective compromise for TBA/WFN to freely rip a 2nd copy of any video they want to maintain a backup database, and on each landing page for a video you have an embedded video/link on the top to the original source, and a "visually unappealing" simple link to the backup video in their database? I would think that 99%+ of the traffic would go through the first link, until the link breaks, and people would access the backup. As long as the content creators are diligent about keeping their videos accessible, which most of the teams concerned about infringement would likely be... traffic continues to be driven through the source accounts of the video instead of the backup copy.

Thoughts?
