MTV To Make Videos Available For All Internet Users

Recently Viacom requested that online video content website Youtube.com remove 100,000 video clips after they failed to come to a distribution agreement for copyrighted content.

Today Viacom announced that they are going to make MTV’s content available to all users online, eliminating the need for people to visit Youtube.

“We need to open up our Web sites and content both for consumers and for other companies,” Mika Salmi, MTV Networks president of global digital media, said in an interview last Friday.

The move is part of a strategy to bring Viacom’s Web sites up to “Web 2.0″ standards, Salmi said. “Part of that is allowing people to take our content and embed it and make your own things out of it, whatever they want,” he said.

Viacom is looking to give viewers the content they want in an easy to understand format.. and there’s always room for another favorite website!

Would you have a problem with visiting another website to get your video content?
