Movie will pay authors for videos

One of the main advantages and at the same time the most controversial aspect of Web 2.0 is the attraction of site visitors to content creation. Team blogs, news resources, social networks, photo-hosting and video portals literally live at the expense of their users. In this regard, the initiative of the Russian video service Movie , which has begun to pay fees to the authors of the original content since August 2007, looks more than interesting.



According to a press release, each registered user of Movi can now not only post videos on the Web, watch videos of other visitors and discuss what they see, but also earn good money: the original video content is rated by Movie at $ 5 for every 1000 views. Criteria, according to which the movie uploaded to the Movie will bring money as simple as possible. First, the copyright on the video must belong to the user who posted it. Expect to receive a fee for the video taken from YouTube is not necessary, which, however, is absolutely reasonable. Secondly, the video should have at least 1000 views and a rating of at least 5 out of 10. This means that the mediocre video is unlikely to be recognized by users and will bring its author at least some amount of pocket money. But really original, interesting videos will be paid in full.
