Dailymotion is a video sharing website, similar to YouTube.
The site is based in Paris, France, its domain registered with gandi.net, a French internet domain name provider, and at least one name server is based in France with the .fr name extension.
As of November 2006, the site was getting about 9,000 new videos posted daily, and page views in excess of 16 million per day[1].
Dailymotion allows users to browse videos by searching tags, channels or user-created groups; the search system also introduces results based on things other users have searched for. The site does not have length restrictions for uploaded videos, unlike Youtube. The maximum size of video per file is 150MB (compared to 100MB for Youtube.).

[edit] Copyrighted Material
Dailymotion was formerly the only video hosting site which never deleted copyrighted material. Popular TV shows, such as Family Guy and South Park, and many movies were illegally uploaded to Dailymotion, often before their official release in some countries. However, infringing videos are now regularly found and removed.
[edit] Index sites
Recently many sites have started to bloom while offering an index service, which arrange the content on Dailymotion by relativity, i.e. links arranged by order of seasons and episodes of a certain show. Some of the sites gather around a rather large community of users, which make requests and report bad links.
[edit] Explicit content
Dailymotion unlike Youtube allows user to upload X rated content which can be found on the Sexy channel.
