Interesting - very curious as to how it works though, maybe something you could add on the page. Since your audience is developers I'm sure others would appreciate that info also.

This app is kinda addictive. I can see my sister and her college friends getting in to this, too. Nice work!

Yes it does. Just because the recording was permitted doesn't mean that the recorder has the rights to publish or replay the recording.

Another example: owning a DVD does not mean you can then stream the DVD over Justin.tv.

The thing about rights is that infringement must be claimed by the rightsholder for any action to be taken. Once a rightsholder claims infringement then the content/stream/video must be shut down or removed, and if the site or person continues to infringe, THEN action can be taken.

This is one of the good things about the DMCA and the reason YouTube, Soundcloud and even justin.tv can continue to operate. It is also exactly what the much maligned SOPA bill is trying to change - for the worse.

btw, you should sign a petition against that bill on votizen or similar.

They climbin in yo' windows, snatching your youtubes up.

Thanks Ian, for the feedback and also for adding an event. I just saw those come through on the back end. We've put the processing on hold for the moment until the load becomes manageable - hope that's cool. We'll email you when they're up.

We've actually thought about this, but it's a low yield proposition until we've shown there's a market for what we have now. It's not impossible, but it is very hard to do :)

... with as much money as you can ;)

Thank you! I think you must be right about the adblock thing. We once had a similar thing with a Chrome plugin that borked things. We'll look into it; thanks again.

Thanks!

- I'm no lawyer, but the advice we've received is that we're good on the legal side.

- You're on the money re: audio. It's miles better than it was 1 month ago, but we're still not 100% yet.

- There is a human curation step (~5% of the process), but that is mostly for removing really crappy videos. Searching/Synching/Sequencing is automatic.

- I dunno about next step(!), but i agree the idea is super interesting :)

Sorry about that. It only happens when the JS borks out completely (which is rare), when JS is turned off, or when you're using a really old browser (which i assume you're not).

If you're inclined (I completely understand if not) can you tell us the error that the console in Chrome or Firebug gives you?

Yep, that's us. I miss Veokami sometimes, but my cofounder and I were two of about 4 people who could actually pronounce the name :p

Incidentally, Switchcam.com was only a little more than $1k, which was definitely worth it.

I'd love to hear your feedback, Mitchell... And thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the feedback, I agree actually. We've been talking about changing the color scheme to either be all dark or all white but haven't pulled the trigger.
