All the videos they posted to Google Video have a watermark in the
corner pointing to www.forbidden-places.be ; that should provide free
promotion.

Personally, I would prefer it if the video's author shortened the
watermark; such a watermark need not last for more than five or ten
seconds. I believe all watermarks are annoying and detract from video.
