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

Do the right thing, even when no one is looking. It's called integrity.

It's your right to be treated honestly: fairness for all igaming affiliates - doch.news
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.
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.
