I have come across some video/moving image artists who have organised their online presence into categories - offering some works which are free to download, use and disseminate under a Creative Commons licence, and others which may only be viewed online.
Recently researched artists Francis Alys
francisalys and Alex Pearl
alexpearl employ these systems - Francis Alys has works organised in both categories and Alex Pearl considers it part of his practice to make his video works freely available for criticism and comment on social networking sites.

Perhaps we are as shadows, or clusters of molecules comprising form, apparently moving and having something to do with each other. Streaming humanity, shades of substance, in effect more alike than we are different.
At last video is onsite.
I often consider how my work can be viewed, accessed, disseminated. I am not exactly sure yet, but will evolve a similar system for my pieces, having some work freely available, and some only viewable on site. This factors in with current thinking about creating more of my work in split-screen, multiple projections and organsed/random formats. I may make some single channel works available.
Copyright, ownership, control, generosity, access, referencing, content, authorship, fairness, rights, derivation, interpretation. These are all such live issues for the artist, perhaps especially for the digital artist.
