I have been doing some more research on this from a different angle
in relation to property rights .I have gone through “ Terms of
Service” documents for various podcast providers with reference
to property rights and getting registered . It’s a good start and
will be worthwhile having a read about what they provide, and
where you stand as there is so much to choose from. Why stick to
the local market when you can go global

Why I think going local is something?...Coz there is so much untapped local market when it comes to content.That doesn't mean that one cant use global resources to bring in local content into the internet.

The question however is... what makes us to rely soooo much on the western world for the simplest things we need when it comes to technology???

There is also some
interesting stuff on Google who plan to AdSense-up viral video
hits on YouTube , Once you’ve chosen to enable revenue sharing,
YouTube will sell advertising against your video and pay you a revenue
share into your Google AdSense account each month. I am not sure on
the terms of this service but it maybe worthwhile looking into.

Got some info on this from an earlier post from CK, Google Kenya, and its quite something to engage provided their terms don't have bottle-necks on guyz under this part of the sun 8-)!
