MGM agrees to host full-length films / TV shows on YouTube
YouTube has been dabbling in full-length professional content for a good while now, and as it seeks to compete more directly with the likes of Hulu, today it has landed a real big fish. Soon, a number of films and TV shows from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's archives will pop up on the video sharing site including episodes of the original American Gladiators and films like Bulletproof Monk and The Magnificent Seven. For all content added, it will obviously be free for anyone to view, though advertisements will be running "alongside the video." Now, if only we could convince Google to offer YouTube HD (or anything close), we'd be set.

Wonder if this means YouTube will make it harder to download content? I hope not.

Hulu = Awesome full length content
Youtube = 21st Century America's Funniest Home Videos

Call it a personal failing, but you had me there for a second, Mr. Tool.

My Concern is that like hulu these videos will be region based and only be available to the United States.
Or to the extreme this could lead to youtube becoming region based locking out people of other countries and just ruin the site.

Oh sh*t. That would totally suck if YouTube had to have regional sites. The majority of the stuff I watch on YouTube is not US based.
