Creative Commons Video Tagged

Manify.net has been doing some great work helping folks to get into the web video streaming game. We came across this post about how they even include Creative Commons tagging for their uploads.

Chances are, you’ve noticed the CC - and maybe even know what it means. But for most casual users of the Uploader, the deftault share and share alike license is just fine. But if you haven’t dug deeper - you should. Magnify.net provides a whole array of license options (courtesy of the folks at Creative Commons) that allows you to define with great specificity the rights you are willing to share, and the rights you want to retain.

Gotta love the opening line of their company page

The Magnify team is a growing band of media makers, code wranglers, and web evangelists who are committed to making video a team sport.

Hats off to Steve, Simon and crew!
