Other forms of mass media seem to be in this mode, also. Both BBC and CNN websites, and probably every other newsite out there now encourage people to submit videos of newsworthy items. Of course they do not pay a dime for them and you have to agree to give it away. It is no surprise that the media conglomerates are trying to weedle free work of others. They will succeed, too, because people are so keen on getting their shot at the brass ring.
