Jessie Atkin posted a new blog up on Digital Landing about a contract between Youtube and MGM.
Movies have started their legal clime into the world of Youtube. After years of copyright infringement and movies posted in twelve parts a new era seems to be making its way online.
MGM has become the first major Hollywood studio to sign a deal with Youtube. The hope is that other studios will follow suit. Things aren’t perfect yet of course, right now the only official clips to be aired on the web site are shorts and television shows, but the deal does open a line of communication that didn’t exist before.
Perhaps Hulu is the best streaming site for official shows and movies at the moment but it seems Youtube is ready to work its way into the legitimate market. Only so many “funniest home videos” are funny for long.
