We've been looking at the stats, and it appears that a few of you are visiting video pages, and leaving as soon as an ad plays. Sadly, and although it's not much, we do need the ad revenue to support the network, but we don't like the idea of people being turned off as soon as they come to a video page.

In relation to ads, there are a few things we can't do. We don't control the content of the ads at this time, and we can't can't control their length. We also can't remove ads completely, as they help to pay for this whole thing, and we can't do it without the cash.

So, what are your suggestions for how we could improve in this area?

This was taken from the Mulligan Media Forums, where it was posted by me (orismology)

As long as there's been content, someone's wanted to pirate it. From books, to music, to television, software, movies and videos, people have wanted to copy it. It's quite clear to us the piracy will always exist.

If you can watch it, you can copy it. While all of our current content is already available for free with no restrictions, we have not rulled out the possibility of paid products in the past. if they get popular, there's a chance they will be pirated. While we don't like that possibility, we regard it as another risk of doing business.

Copyright exists for a good reason. As content creators, we have the right to control how our content is used. Unfortunately, copyright laws around the world have gotten out of hand. The image of mickey mouse is 84 years old, and still under copyright. That's ridiculous.

We support the notion of copyright, but its current implementation is flawed. SOPA/PIPA etc are not fixes for copyright or effective ways to combat piracy. They are violations of common sense. Copyright infringement is not theft - it's copyright infringement, nothing more. With the exception of commercial, large-scale piracy, it shouldn't be a criminal offence. 

Punish people if you want. If you're a movie studio, sue someone for downloading a movie - that's your right. But sue them for the 19.95 the actually cost you, not thousands. and certainly don't give someone jail time for downloading a song.

 Because at the end of the day, I'll let someone copy my content until the cows come home if the alternative is sending a regular joe to jail.

We've just released our promo for 2012. Watch it below, and spread the word :D

Thanks, and keep watching!

Hey everyone!

As we come to the pointy end of our first real year of serious programming, I'd like to ask you to take a few minutes to fill out our programming survey. It shouldn't take too long, and it really helps us cater the site for what you guys want. We've already had a few responses, and the feedback has already been really interesting. 

In fact, I'd like to respond to one quick thing now. One of the survey questions asks about now distribution platforms that we could publish to. A few people wrote 'YouTube' in this field. As it turns out, we do already have a YouTube account. We don't tend to advertise it as much as we do our site, but almost all of our videos are avaliable at our YouTube channel, and we're working on uploading eerything to it ASAP.

So, thanks for the feedback guys! And if you'd like to have your say, take a few minutes to give us your thoughts.
