French video-sharing site DailyMotion announced a partnership today with Warner Music Group to share ad revenue from Warner's music videos. Warner, you'll remember, also has deals with YouTube (see Warner-YouTube), Brightcove, Google Video, Muvee and others.
DailyMotion is literally the French version of YouTube - thanks, perhaps, to the fact that YouTube hasn't rolled out foreign language versions, they've managed to get some good traction. As we mentioned in the case of PornoTube, another market gap left by YouTube is explicit content - DailyMotion has no qualms about allowing this type of content, and even boasts in its press release that most of the porn is "user generated". It should be pointed out however, that DailyMotion launched in March 2005, before the official launch of YouTube.
