Yes, to the former.

Corran wrote:Embedding is limited to those that know the embed codes. This is primarily a convenience feature for donators that have a personal webpage or studio site but can't afford to host the videos themselves. I don't see this feature becoming rampant and widespread like <a href="http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=73475">boochsack</a> or other streaming sites.

They could.

You do realize there is nothing any web developer can really do about copy and pasting a web page's html source code right? This is especially true of sites we don't control. I assume Bashar was asking questions he already knew the answer to in order raise everyone else's awareness.
I personally do not share the sentiment that increased visibility is a death knell for the org. It may bring unwanted attention, but if we did nothing to increase the general user base then the org would not be sustainable. The donation drive has helped, but it was temporary.
I also don't agree that embeds will be "flooding across the internet" just because the html source can be viewed/copied/pasted.

I can understand why this is the first I'm hearing of this (if I was an admin, I wouldn't want to admit it either), but now I'm curious. When did things get to that point?

Good way to shut down the .org; 2) Forge ahead with new features - possible risks here but nothing concrete, no matter what the critics say; 3) Dispense with local hosting and go back to pre-2003 standards. I think it's obvious what we'd all be losing here.??

It's not about funds, it's about attitudes. There is only so much that the administration itself can do.
