Your 10 Minutes of Fame on YouTube

Just thought we’d mention that YouTube is now enforcing a 10 minutes or less cutoff for clips uploaded to their servers.
According to YouTube, 99% of the uploaded videos are already less than 10 minutes long. This move shouldn’t affect most users as there was previously already a 100MB file limit for uploads. They did some analysis of the videos over 10 minutes in length, and we found that there’s a majority of them were full length, copyrighted videos from tv shows and movies. There are however also legit content creators with videos over 10 mins such as amateur film makers.
