I think the current YouTube system is pretty good. YouTube detects you are using copyrighted music, and the copyright owner can choose to block it or allow it but gets the money for the ads. Most of them seem to be choosing the second.
ok , let me enjoy your work for free , you should be lucky i'm sharing it ? let's apply that fact to developers then.
That argument has been used for about 4 decades now http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Letter_to_Hobbyists and yet corporations still contribute huge amounts of code to free and open-source projects. e.g. http://www.linuxfoundation.org/news-media/announcements/2012...
You're talking to an audience where the average person has a Github account and loves FOSS.
Yes, that's where it started. :-)
Umm would you also pay to watch my live coding session?
if you are naked with 3 girls pouring some cream on you maybe ^_^ .
