Republishing YouTube Videos created by others

[DaftDog]

Wrong Dave,

The issue as was stated earlier, was when someone takes someone else's work, republishes on their own website and dresses it up as their own, then it is WRONG.

How has the OP (of the original thread) dressed up those Youtube videos as his own?

I never accused any single person of that, I started this thread based on the ideas that it can and does happen and was looking for more feedback on the issue some agree and some do not.

A few have written me personally they have had trouble with that and some have seen increased traffic to their channel because they have republished their videos on sites.

I know you didn't accuse any single person but you did not exclude the OP either, so the implication was there.

[universal4]

I never once implied anything, the OP of this thread was me and no inference to anyone was ever made.

Technically that's true (got to love semantics), but... this thread was the catalyst from its original destination (https://www.gpwa.org/forum/high-pote...tml#post906017) So maybe DaftDog was referring to the 'original thread' and thus, the "original" OP. Not you

[universal4]

I never made it about that others did

Too bad as prior to that it was a healthy discussion with ideas and opinions aired in a healthy manner.

Interesting discussion about republishing videos and the difference between what YouTube allows and what a content creator feels is reasonable. If someone took an APCW video and posted it as their own, I can see J.Todd having an issue with that.

I kinda agree about the content theft idea, but technically since Youtube terms allow it you can't do nothing about it except restrict your contents from others so that they can't use it.

Maybe you can just say explicitly say in your own terms that they cannot use the videos for other purposes you have not given permission to.

I have to agree with you Dave, that's exactly how I interpreted it as well

While the "Fair Use" Law(s) rightly grant permission for said content use by a 3'rd party, the copyright holder still remains the owner of said content. However, the GPWA "Terms of Use" specifically states:

It goes on to state:

One could argue that one has the necessary rights to use the content in accordance with "Fair Use" law(s). However, and reiterating: GPWA becomes sole-owner of any and all posts made within the Site

Meaning, even content posted under "Fair Use" laws, the copyrighted content, when posted to the GPWA, becomes the property of the GPWA.

In so far as Google... They aren't making claim to ownership of said copyright content. Whereas, GPWA is!

my question is: what if you own two unaffiliated channels and you repost highlights of one channel on the other? This is not considered stolen content is it?

I think publishing a portion of another video and referencing the channel would be fine.

One has to wonder though why someone would do very much of that, it's not like there is a simple way to use a similar function that a canonical link would provide.

this is news to me, there are canonical links on videos?

I do not think so, that is why I said that you can't simply do that.

But as an example, you could do so on your own site if you self host the video feeds from YouTube.
