YouTube, the video sharing giant owned by Google, is to beginning a revenue share scheme in which they will soon begin paying the major contributors a share of the AdSense revenue generated by the Google AdSense adverts that appear for their videos.

A YouTube representative has spoken on the YouTube blog announcing that the revenue share scheme will include thousands of mid to large sized content contributors. They go on to say that the people likely to benefit will be the likes of production houses (including video game designers) and universities.
