media goblin + cheap hosting + yearly domain fee = your own flickr/picasa/youtube/vimeo/etc

No more have your videos removed without explanation because you had some radio barely audible in the background or some other idiotic issues

you don't think your cheap webhost will drop you immediately if they get a DMCA takedown?
Do you think your cousin is going to turn you in?
DMCA doesn't apply in Europe?
The EUCD does. It also has takedown provisions.
They will not get it to begin with.

1. there will be not many people watching it to begin with.

2. even if there are, it's distributed across so many media goblins install. break down youtube access for (1/3 * number of videos they have) = number of different DMCA requests the MAFIAA lawyers will have to work out. It just will not scale as it does now.
