For shure, Apple get my content but why? Because they develop a good software and they have a phenomenal PR. So when they invest their money, why shouldn't they get them back? I gave Apple my content and they distribute it for me using their publicity - for free? But I guess iTunes and youtube shouldn't be the ONLY availible distribution channels.

Would it be possible to promote more non-commercial archiving websites? There are great solutions such as http://archive.org and the http://www.archive-it.org syndication service. Promoting ItunesU is a conflict of interest which helps Apple monetize our educational resources and offers further incentive for our students to fall into the consumer trap of buying Apple devices. We are already subjected to the advertising blitz provided by Apple on campuses across the globe. Can we please not offer them additional free advertisement? Similarly with YouTube. While being a proven distribution platform, there is again a commercial conflict of interest here. With blinking advertisements and (ir)related videos beckoning, it is easy for students to get sidetracked from their studies. Thank you for your consideration, --Brylie Hi,
