I'd be interessted in such an article, but couldn't spot it. Could you please post a deep link to it?

@Andre: on Fritz's page there is a list of video services supported by his tool:

* 6.cn
* Apple trailers
* Blip.tv
* GameTrailers
* MegaVideo
* MyShows
* Google
* Yahoo
* YouTube
* iFilm (now Spike)
* Vimeo
* Metacafe
* Break
* Jumpcut
* Current TV
* Revver
* College Humor
* MyVideo.de
* SevenLoad.de
* ClipFish
* Stickam
* FreeVideoBlog (now Vidiac)
* StreetFire
* DropShots
* Bofunk
* Virb.com
* TED.com
* DailyMotion.com
So you could conclude that it's a list of popular services that probably fall into the category "can be used with remote players".

I need to increase the size of the file type extension during plugin installation:

--- Code: ---ALTER TABLE {$CONFIG['TABLE_FILETYPES']} MODIFY extension CHAR(10)
--- End code ---

Can this cause some unintended behavior to the rest of the gallery?

phill104:
It was a while back when I first started using the plugin that I saw the legal page but I cannot find it right now. It may have been on on of the othe branches of this plugin as there are a number borrowing the code.

The gist of it is that it all depends on whether it can be considered "re-broadcasting". In the UK for instance it is illegal to rebroadcast without consent but in the case of embedding you are not the one liable but the host site is. There have been cases in the UK where lawyers have sent out letters asking poeple to withdraw such content and people usually abide. There has not yet been a case of this taken to court in the UK as both sides are worried it would set a legal precedent which depending on which way it went could damage either side. In Turkey for however, you are considered the one liable and can be persued. So it depends on where you are.

Another worrying issue is that of privacy. By viewing an embedded video you are still sending certain information back to for example youtube, it is just the way a browser works. But you as a user have not visited youtube but another site that happened to embed a youtube video. Therefore you did not have a choice whether to have that information sent to them. There are currently legal wrangles going on accross the globe regarding this to find out who is ultimately responsible and whether this is an invasion of privacy.

So having said all that I suggest you put a disclaimer/warning somewhere in the plugin stating some of the above information.

I'm not sure. I suggest asking this question on the dev board for cpg1.5.x coding and to suggest increasing the size in the first place (not only for the plugin, but generally for the entire cpg1.5.x install).
