Wait, you're going to allow paying members to embed your paywall-protected videos on other sites to be viewed by non-members for free? If so, could I just register mixergyfreeinterviews.com and offer your entire archive there? The free-embed idea is definitely risky, but it might help if you require there to be a certain amount of unique text/editorial surrounding the embedded video in order to avoid abuse. Otherwise, I'm going out right now to register that domain.

Well, if he's allowing you to download the videos as well what's to stop you from uploading them to YouTube? I agree with you though, he should definitely limit access to maintain control, especially for the sake of his bandwidth expenses.

  The fact that he does not have the right to upload them to YouTube!?

that's kind of a dick move. while MixergyFreeInterviews.com might not violate the letter of what Andrew's trying to do, it certainly violates the spirit.

  I obviously wouldn't actually register that domain... I was just making a point. Somebody else would do it.

    It wasn't obvious, you forgot the sarcasm emoticon. (Incidentally, did you know "sarcasm" comes from the Latin sarcasmos, which means "to tear flesh"? Me neither!)
