Dear video bloggers,

There is no conspiracy here. No one is trying to steal your content,
and wall it up in a closed system. No one is trying to ignore your CC
copyrights.

We are simply working out issues of an early launch, and expect to
have them fixed shortly.

1. We are cleaning our database of RSS feeds (if your feed is in the
database and you don't want it to be, email us and we will remove it
immediately). We are working on automated ways of making sure that
the database stays clean by better verification of feed ownership and
obeying CC licenses.

2. We are adding links back to the original web site of the feed, and
will make them prominent on the page. We have no intention of being a
closed community.

3. We are listening to the needs of the video blogging community and
intend to sponsor VloggerCon 2006 to meet everyone in person. If you
want to take me out back and beat the crap out of me for launching a
product with holes in it, then so be it.

I will be traveling for the next week, but have engineers working on
it, and hopefully by the time that I get back, all of this will be
fixed and we can all get on with video blogging.

Thanks for listening, and please don't paint this into some form of a
conspiracy to rip off video bloggers. That is just not what this is.

Dmitry
