NBA on YouTube by Diana Zotescu

Sports passionate have received some good news today: NBA and YouTube have cut a deal for 20,000 videos that incorporate NBA content. Moreover viewers will be able to post their own videos and choose NBA provided background music (no uncensored lyrics though). I guess it sounds pretty cool. However as far as I’ve heard users will not be allowed to post the NBA games on other sites as a consequence of the copyrights talks (which brings me back to the regulation issues YouTube faces right now). The NBA is betting that its editing system and the music that will be available will attract fans that now post their videos on YouTube. So if you are interested just type "NBA" into the YouTube search engine and you'll find more than 20,000 videos that incorporate NBA content. Sports fans who enjoy creating the videos often try to one-up each other by producing increasingly elaborate videos. You just wouldn’t want to miss that.
