andy,

No. YouTube needs to prove that there are legitimate noninfringing uses for the technology - they're highlighting the fact that copyrighted content is not the mainstay of youtube, as viacom claims.

Pete,

So you're saying that because YouTube made up their own awards, allowing their users to vote on prescribed nominee's... this will be of value in court regarding using material however they want, without paying a royalty.

I fail to follow your logic. Why is an awards ceremony generated by YouTube an indication that using copyrighted material is for the common good, or... something.

Andy,

I prefer the theory that they're using the awards as part of their defense against the Viacom lawsuit: proof that the user-generated content is important and that YouTube has "good uses" as well as copyright-infringing ones.

The "awards" are a complete load. The nominee's are pre-designed by the "brains" at Youtube to fit their meddling/marketing schemes for it's "celebrities."
It's hard to tell why YouTube even involves itself in that stupidity. Probably people there looking to justify their salaries.
It's a shame. YouTube was worth something when they were satisfied simply with providing content, and letting the users do what they wanted without their YouTube's now endless meddling for no good reason.

This idea was stolen from youtube user mattpyrch.If you go to his channel on youtube (mattpyrch) and find his video on the youtube awards, its dated aug 2006. also go to www.freewebs.com/youtubevid... and notice the time line....SHAME ON YOUTUBE!

I think just because it's YouTube and they have such a large user-base, the awards will do well regardless of the fact that it is a little old-fashioned.

I agree with the commenter who noted the 1.0-ness of awards shows. Podcasters went through this (heck, the whole top-10 idea is so silly comparing things that have nothing to do with each other) so it was inevitable to happen to video.

Now if we could get the communities to stop thinking their own selves are the end-all, be-all of the definition of the word, whatever the word may be.

With the "internet chess", years ago, some Masters went to chess on the web, as anonymous to compete.. Will be the same situation with "famous" realisators who will compete as anonymous ?? That is ONE question ;-)

Interesting. There already is an online-video awards show. It's called Vloggies. http://www.vloggiesshow.com/

The videos on the vlog there are quite interesting (Rocketboom, Ask a Ninja, and others are interviewed there):
