Yahoo zählt allerdings einen Knackpunkt auf:
Kopierschutzsystem + eigener Videoplayer: While all of videos downloaded through Apple can be transferred onto a portable player — albeit only its own iPod — for on-the-go viewing, that won’t be true at Google’s service. Google has developed its own copy protection technology that so far prevents content owners from moving their video downloads to a mobile playing device. In instances where the content provider adopts Google’s copy protection scheme, watching a video sold through Google will require users to be online so they can log on and view it via the company’s video player
Als Anbieter muss man nicht unbedingt seine Videos mit diesem Schutzsystem hochladen, man kann auch ohne.
