In a way putting your work on youtube establishes your work as a precident for what is being done. I do find however that pieces that I put on youtube often don't look as good as the original, and I've pulled things off to preserve their integrity. Steven makes a good point in saying that one can create content just for youtube as the target audience. > Thanks, Robert, > > I understand your plea, however, I choose not to put videos of my shows on > YouTube because that is giving away for free what I use to make my living. > I have put short clips of my work on YouTube.
