This is just something I was experimenting with, doing a flash animation in 3D space. I named it jellyfish because it kind of reminded me of that type of motion.

I received an email from Youtube last night. Apparently my animation now has enough views that they are now interested in "partnering" with me. Potentially I could make some money on the animation, hmm ok, yes I’m interested.

So I go over there and check out the tutorial, which is displayed as a wizard. The first page basically explains the program, it’s based on Adsense. I already use Adsense on one of my web sites so I’m cool with that.

The next four pages go on to explain the video can infringe upon copyrights, and explain what that means. I thought, this is a little tad over kill but then I thought maybe its a good thing, might say there is a bit of an issue when it comes to people understanding what copyright is on the Internet. The animation is completely my creation, so no worries there, thinking maybe ok I’ll do it.

Then I come to the last page, once I submit my "application" they will approve it. I thought they contacted me with an invitation, now turns out they still have to approve it.  And here’s the kicker, if for any reason they don’t approve the video, it gets deleted. Huh?

Are not Youtube the most awesome people? Raise your hand if either yourself or someone you know has had their youtube account deleted for no apparent reason and with no explaination. That’s what I thought, think I’ll pass on the partnership for now.

If you haven’t seen the animation, I present it here for your enjoyment, thanks for stopping by.
