It has to do with Copyrights of the gaming content, it is illegal to just put ads on videos you created without compensating the game creators. And gaming networks *like* Machinima have agreements where they pay a percentage of the money earned from ads to the game creators and everyone avoids legal problems.

This is the same with any content. For example, you can't make money off a music video that someone else created.

And we are not there yet, it'll take some time. I'll handle the backend of that so no one else has to worry about it. I'm already a YouTube partner with my personal account (but I make Programming tutorials that I created so I didn't have to go through any network) so these are just things that I've picked up over the years.

That sounds good. I'll make an FTP account for you to upload your video. Will PM you soon.

I can't really contribute at the moment, but I'm super stoked to see what gets done!

What programmer does not like gaming as well I was really wanting to set-up a Minecraft lets play, but the you tube upload times kill me that being said I really want to start a LP so ill beta test if you would like. :3 (on a side note you program do you know c++ f so you can do my tech class assignment :p)

The upload times are very problematic, and that is the reason I do not do new vids that often. For me it takes several hours to upload a new vid

Ok I see why. For some reason the obvious seems to escape me at all the wrong moments. Does machinima have any guidelines for joining them?

Yes, all networks do. The guidelines usually start with getting subscribers, videos, and views. So I thought we'd take it one step at a time and go from there :)

Just subscribed to the new channel, i've recently bought L4D2 on steam, however my computer is incapable of running it.. so after xmas sometime, maybe a new machine and a few gameplay videos to boot..?
