How does MovieClips.com feel about CantWait's use of the trailers it has licensed and posted on YouTube?
For instance, here's CantWait's "Midnight in Paris" page on its website:
http://cantwa.it/movie/midnight-in-paris/first-trailer-117/ http://cantwa.it/movie/midnight-in-paris/first-trailer-117/
The YouTube movie that is embedded on that page is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_3gIxrcWK8&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_3gIxrcWK8&feature=playe...
Which happens to be posted by MovieClips.com, a company that pays the studios to license their trailer data. Is CantWait paying MovieClips.com? Does it pay YouTube? Does it pay the rights holders of the trailers?
Here's another example, CantWait's "Spider Man" trailer:
http://cantwa.it/movie/the-amazing-spider-man/first-teaser-6/ http://cantwa.it/movie/the-amazing-spider-man/first-teaser-6...
It was posted by Sony Pictures on YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=upwf8RsyNqQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=u...
Is Sony Pictures cool with CantWait's use of its trailer within a commercial app and website?
I am curious if CantWait is at all concerned about being shut down for commercial redistribution of content from YouTube? Or is CantWait paying YouTube for the content and its bandwidth? What if CantWait scales and YouTube says, enough is enough?
