Hulu Gets Ripped Out Of Rippol

We've seen in that past year that Hulu gets testy about their video content being used on other sites or platforms, with Boxee and TV.com both forced to remove Hulu content from their sites and applications. Now startup Rippol is facing the same fate. Rippol just publicly launched their video discovery sites at yesterday's Real-Time CrunchUp, which combines both complex algorithms with user suggestions to surface interesting video content. Less than a few hours after Rippol launched, the startup's co-founder Aaron Crayford received notice from Hulu that the video embeds on Rippol from Hulu were in violation of the terms of service which state that embeds are for personal, non-commercial use only. While Rippol says that they won't place ads in the videos or around the videos, Hulu says that the single fact that Rippol plans to make money from the entire content service violates the TOS. Instead, Hulu offered Rippol the ability to us its site map, which is a feed that links back to Hulu for video playback. Don't embed, says Hulu. Link instead. Here's the email notice:
