If you don’t like the commercials don’t do it. They aren’t going to bill you; it said that they may have to reduce the 70/30 if the hosting is too much work for the money being charged. They don’t even ask for your credit card, so how could they “bill you” anyway? Why do people get so upset at things they don’t need to partake in?

Or with Google splicing commercials into your footage? Or with them selling your contact information to spammers? Enjoy the service then; it's not for me. (If anyone wonders where those questions come from, check out http://jacobian.org/recipes/archives/2005/04/13/reading-the-google-video-tos/; I've outlined where each of those points come from. And "trust them -- they're good guys" just doesn't cut it for me. I've sent Google a letter (also online at http://jacobian.org/recipes/archives/2005/04/14/open-letter-to-google/) in which I ask them to clarify these points; hopefully they will promptly and we can all enjoy this cool service).
