YouTube bans clips over 10 minutes

YouTube is now enforcing a 10 minutes or less cutoff for clips uploaded to their servers.

So, if most of our users are uploading and watching short form video clips, why even bother to make the change? If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it right? Well, if you’ve followed our blog postings or any of the press articles, you know we’re constantly trying to balance the rights of copyright owners with the rights of our users. We did some analysis of the videos in our system over 10 minutes in length, and we found the overwhelming majority of them were full length, copyrighted videos from tv shows and movies. However, we also recognize that there are legit content creators out there who may have videos over 10 mins, so we’ve created a Premium Content Program for those of you with professional-produced videos.

Have any of our readers used YouTube for uploading clips longer than 10 minutes to YouTube servers?
