Hi Lovvies,
Well, we've run into another problem with the video hosting services. Since I don't have "the express written consent of Major League Baseball and the Atlanta Braves", our videos have been removed from a remote hosting site yet again, and the account has been closed. While I understand why -- it's not my original content and I'm not paying MLB/the Braves for the rights to stream their content -- I don't really understand why those of you who don't have access to local cable shouldn't be allowed to see an occasional Braves Live interview. I've never recorded and rebroadcast an entire game or program; I just offer bits and pieces that I feel draw more fans into the game!
If you have any suggestions, I would appreciate hearing them. Sites I cannot use include YouTube, Google, Blip.tv, and while Photobucket works (for now), the video quality is very poor. I am not interested in selling the blog, selling the rights to the blog, or having the entire blog hosted on another website. I just need a place for our videos or the videos are going to completely stop. The hosting site will need to be able to handle a lot of traffic and multiple viewings of each video (yes, I know you all do that!), and the videos range in length from approximately 10 seconds to 4 minutes. I am certain that other mainstream sites -- Tinypic, MySpace, Facebook, etc. -- will shut the videos down just as quickly as YouTube does.
Please email me with suggestions or post them in the comments. Thank you for your contributions to this community!
Love,
Lauren

I was googling options and found this post with the Top 31 Alternatives to Youtube (video hosting sites) on a site. I think you should have a look, as the post lists a variety of different sites you could check out. Some of those I'm not sure about, but I thought you could look them over when you had the time.
I'll look around some more and if I find any other options I'll let you know. :)

You could buy very cheap off-shore (servers located in countries who don't have the same copyright laws as the US) web hosting just for the vids and host them yourself if all else fails… that way they can't get you. :)

I think I actually like the, as we say, "Fruggla" bromance more than McFrenchy! I'm definitely more into it, haha.
Great pics as always!! From now on I will always choose to believe EO carries around Bubble Tape. It's more fun.
I'll be there tonight and tomorrow, so if I see you I'll say hi of course. Or yell it at you again. :D

The thing about McFrenchy – they met when they were 12! They bought brother dogs together! Their wives LOOK LIKE THE OTHER GUY. Okay, neither wife looks like a man at all, but Blonde Mac married a brunette and Brown Frenchy married a blonde. Oh, there are a million other layers to that… I'm so sad it's seemingly over.
See you tonight!
