Quote: 'YouTube has confirmed to the BBC that it will share the revenue it makes for uncopyrighted videos. The company's co-founder, Chad Hurley, announced yesterday at the Davos Economic Forum, that the revenue-sharing decision is an attempt to reward creativity.'

Well, obviously this is a good idea in terms of boosting the amount of video submissions to YouTube and sort of makes it more popular. But problems such as click fraud and copyrighted material comes. What do you think?

I think it's an interesting idea, and i'm curious to see how it plays out. Other companies have done this with different things and it's something Google's never tried before. If nothing else, they will have gathered valuable information from trying this.
