Then you need to have a DMCA system and a repeat offender policy and all of that shit in place.

2. It's very, very dangerous to allow users to put their own ad codes in your website. They could put whatever they want--malware, child porn, etc. Stuff that could actually get you in legal trouble. So you need some solution to constantly monitor all the ad codes being used. (seems nicer to just let exoclick do that for you, right?)

Realistically, every tubesite is already doing what you're doing. It's called "content partnership programs". But because of the reasons above, they're way more restrictive than what you're talking about--content partners have to be approved and prove they actually own/produce content, and the only advertising space they get is a text link and a pre-approved banner back to their content.

It's commendable what you're trying to do but it probably needs some more thought
Thanks for the input, will definately take into consideration.
