Stephen at Singpolyma has an idea about an equitable share of the profits for services that post & host content from other places. Singpolyma:

So what's the solution? Well, instead of charging content creators to host their content (or running ads, or both), the idea is that we should go back to paying content creators. The Web 2.0 companies are making money, and they deserve their fair cut. 100%, however, is not a fair cut. How's this for the switch: I make it, We get paid for it. The first site to do it will beat out the competition, and fast.

Share, share-alike, and attract a larger number of users with payments as an incentive.... Cool.... Where's my digital camera?
