Greed? #

I assume you will video up the place as soon as possible then. Anyway it's not greed it's need slim profit potential on most sites require any and all avenues be exploited fully I would expect you to know that we still have to eat and drink heavily don't we. If it gets too unsightly you can cut back unlike what happens currently with ad servers.

The embedded ads from Blinkx be inside the frame while the new embedded ads from Google are above the video and inside it.
Seems at some point you may have 2 advertisers, a site host and the content creator all invovled in adverts for one video. Each overlaid on top of each other or in addition around the edges.
Time for some automated real time overlays that will user a blur filter from vdub to make it less unsightly or just black it out.
Firefox will fix this! #

So bring on the BlinkXBlock extension for Firefox that will fix this one. Simply parse the code that's coming from BlinkX, extract the URL of the original video with a simple regex, and replace the BlinkX URL in the page with the original one.
Might even program this baby up myself for the benefit of 'Fox users everywhere!
$action = GetCoat("Steve Roper", localtime(time));
CallTaxi($action);
