First I was going to post this Wednesday, but more has come up.
The awful, awful, awful 'video on computer' of the American...(I'll say no more).....
Then, the next day, a lead in on my local news about some brawling at a High School, again on internet video.
Then, yesterday, my daughter gets a call; it's a friend telling her the new Evanescence (a rock group)'s video is out. She asks if she can go watch it, and I 'assume' MTV, but no, again, on 'puter. And not on MTV or Sony web sites (or whoever is the label for Evanescence).
Okay...so, the question is....how/where/how do these videos get uploaded/uplinked???
If I had a website, I realize (don't have a clue how) I could upload for viewing, but....these persons in Iraq, plus, the brawling teens, and the rock video.....
How are they uploaded? Where are they coming from?
Also, pretend at least one of them is I don't know, a Google site; doesn't Google have the right and/or obligation to say, "No, we're not showing teen brawling on our site"?
Yet alone the awful, awful above mention :'(
Thanks,
Patti

Patti, you don't need a website to view any of those videos. Download them to a temporary file on your computer, or your desktop, in a version according to which player you want to use and your connection speed, then just open them there.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I meant if I had my own website, I could post videos for others to view.
But, about all the above, is it just single persons uploading this stuff to their sites??? Or are there 'domains' that ??get them??

Oh, sorry. You'd download an FTP client off the internet and install it on your computer.

Most websites have an About link and a Contact link if you want info about the webmanager(s) or to ask where a particular site gets its videos.
Also, pretend at least one of them is I don't know, a Google site; doesn't Google have the right and/or obligation to say, "No, we're not showing teen brawling on our site"?
A web host will list its limitations and requirements in its User Agreement, which often contains the words illegal, defamatory, obscene, harassing, abusive and threatening.

Wind-up Records.
Those videos are legal and they allow download by the fans.

But, how do the fans 'get' them?
And, where do the fans load them up to; their own sites?

There is a click near the top of their site that says "videos." Then the video plays it the little window there.
