Veoh founder confirms bankruptcy and liquidation

let us all have a moment of silence for despite it ran with corporations Veoh was fair to its equal members and consistent to the corps and users alike unlike Youtube....Veoh RIP you will hopefully never be forgotten in the pages of history.

moral of the story? if your going to make a site that (secretly) allows piracy, don't half ass it!

and also don't invest 70 million in it!

...."(secretly) allows piracy". You're sitting on a pretty high horse. Do you have any idea the resources required to monitor the multitude of uploads? and they did a pretty good job of it for the most part.

Veoh is/ was a great idea and if it were not for the current economy and lack of advertising dollars available it could have been a great success. In case you haven't noticed, there are decades-old newspapers and magazines also going bankrupt.

I started using Fancast a while back, and found I like it better for TV shows than Veoh. The quality is great, selection is awesome (shows are on same night or next day usually) and best of all, it is free (with a handful of short, <30sec, ads over the course of an hour long show. And it has the approval of the networks so you don't have to worry about a lawsuit shutting them down...
