    commercial videos and anything created by someone else technically belongs to them.

    If you wrote a book and someone else copied it and put their name on it, would that be ok?

    no, commercial /copyrighted videos most of the time are uploaded by people who do not have the right to do so. that's why sometimes they get removed. If you read the fineprint though, technically no one is supposed to upload anything that they do not own the rights to.

    short answer is no - as far as I understand - you can embed it as it is but not alter it in any way.

    If you can't embed videos on your site, if offered, then why do you suppose all my videos have a 'sites linking to this video' section.

    Just a question

    No, it is not "ok" to do this.

    If you want videos, make your own. Its not that difficult. If you have a digital camera, windows XP or vista and a high speed connection, you have everything you need.

    The best thing to do is to play it safe. If you have to ask "should I be doing this?" The answer is usually no.

    Check into camtasia, its the best video creation software I've ever used and is great for making tutorials to promote CPA offers with.
