Revver is, and always has been, an open syndication network. Our platform – whether it be the API, widgets, RSS feeds, or direct embeds – was designed to offer creators and sharers of content a way to fully white label and monetize their video experience – a service offered to each and every Revver member.

In this respect, Zango is no different from any other sharer/syndicator on our network: they’re using our API, which every Revver user has full access to, to pull and share content. They earn the 20% syndication fee just as any other Revver user would for sharing and driving traffic to Revver content, and must agree to our terms of service in order to do so. As a result, they are helping creators earn money by exposing their content to their audience.

The openness of our network is both a philosophical and technical feature of our network. We’ve resisted numerous partners that insisted on partitioning off content; we feel strongly that the future of media, especially on the internet, lies in its ability to be freely shared and distributed and we’d really like to see this ideal succeed.

Despite our stance, however, we do recognize that some creators may not want their content distributed by Zango, so we’ll contact them to help remedy the situation. If you or any Revver member requests, we will contact Zango on your behalf and request they stop using your content on their site. Revver members can contact us via our contact form to request assistance.

We’d like to see an internet where content is allowed to roam freely while still earning money for our creators and sharers – so to that end we’ll be re-evaluating Zango’s use of the Revver API. I’ll keep you posted with any news on the matter.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if I can be of any assistance,

Not only that but they can use such software to directly see what your viewing habbits are and where else you might be viewing videos. You dont know what kind of phishing that software is doing as it sits there on your computer. YouTube already monitors viewing but least they even say so right on there front page, and since you go to there site your agreeing to it. If you download that software its the very same thing your saying “Sure spy on me.”
