    How do websites like Trailer Addict host movie trailers straight on their site? I know yahoo and aol does this but they are huge companies that have deals with the movie companies. But Trailer Addict doesn't seem to be associated with the movie companies so how can they host these trailers straight on their website like this? I've visited other movie trailer sites and they usually don't host trailers off their website but just embed video from yahoo or some other place like that. Anyone have ideas. comments? Also, is embedding a movie trailer from another site like yahoo safe to do? I'm wondering about this.

    They must have gotten written permission to do it (what they had to do to get that is completely unknown).
