Sources at YouTube tell us that online video giant will soon increase the maximum duration of uploaded video clips from 10 minutes to 15 minutes. The move may not mean much to some, but if you're a YouTube uploader, the increase would mean significantly less chopped-up installments of longer form works, and subtly redefine the medium, given that YouTube is the largest video hosting service online.
YouTube is a huge social medium. People who do not YouTube don't realize there is so much more to the experience than watching people flop balls over basket while trying to do one of those reverse wheelies on their daughter's bicycle.
I've heard that the only reason there is a limit to the length of a video in the first place is to stem the tide of copyright violations. The court case mentioned in the article above is a win for the rights of people to be presumed innocent before proved guilty.
