Well That made alot of sense, I am so a beginner and really batteling with the technical side of Greyscales / Iso`s / Appertures, shutter speeds.. :-( and doing the course online makes it worse as there is no one to physically talk to. Stuff like this really helps. I am sure that alot of practice makes almost perfect..... I studdied paramedics and learnt how to save someones life and that was easier than this, thank you so much.

Lol merry Christmas to you too :)

 

And I do love a good debate :D

 

Well like you said - it's donations, which is an important distinction to make. It is all-the-same freely available and while I understand what you're saying, I really don't think there could hypothetically be any possible legal repercussions.

 

If you were posting a video or picture or whatever that one had to pay a site to view, then that would be frowned upon, for sure. But normally - you see it with a lot of songs on Youtube (especially Bob Dylan ones I'm noticed *angry face*) - they'd just make a complaint to the webmaster hosting the illegally shared file to take it down.

 

The illegality lies with the sharer or "seeder" not the viewer or "leacher". But that's only semi-related to the point I suppose as this video is legally posted.

Hi there gent's well first things first merry Christmas and happy new year to you both ;-)  Youtube is for sharing your video of what the that person has taken and adding it to youtube for people to view.

Im sure that youtube would of been contacted if there was a problem with the video ie not for this use or similar and as i have seen they have taken video's off when there's a problem.

Youtube have add the ability of adding links so more people may view the video's added i what you are trying to say but i believe if there was a legal problem then youtube would of jumped all over this by now.

Well assuming the maker of the video is the one who put it up (which...why wouldn't he be?) if it were for advertising purposese, the adverts would be within the video itself.

 

And you have to work off the assumption that it is legal media (that you wouldn't have to pay for under any circumstances). If you're using it for reference, and it is actually hot-linked to the site it originated from I can't see a problem with it...

If it's on youtube, it's fair game as far as copyright is concerned - if the original person who put it on Youtube took it from somewhere else without permission, then that's his problem - don't worry about it ;)

 

As for advertising, that's an optional Youtube feature or something Youtube themselves impose upon vids. They wouldn't allow embedding it like you have if that's the way they felt about it.

 

Good vid too. I've taken photos like he pointed out and haven't realised why they turned out better than others. Good find :)
