this is reason to be banned . you are not allowed to link these types of material . read the adsense tos carefully
Well just use common sense. Obviously if you have a site built around anything to do with piracy like full movies and such then of course that isn't good. For example when I post music videos on my site I don't put ads on those pages. But the original statement in this thread was that you can't use adsense with ANY youtube videos at all that you didn't upload which is simply not true. Just because you have a few adsense ads on your site doesn't necessarily make your website "commercial". Many non commercial bloggers use a few ads to cover costs. I think you are being overly paranoid. If you have a normal site and try to avoid obvious copyright issues like music videos and movies I think you will be fine. By uploading to youtube they ARE giving you permission. If you read the Youtube TOS is explicitly says that. If you were charging money or something like that for people to access the videos then you might have a point but visitors have a choice to watch the videos and not click on your ads.
Try reading youtube TOS again. NON COMMERCIAL WEBSITES. Email adsense if you think you are right about it, you'll get the same answer I did. Heck, i'll even try to find their exact reply - can't guarantee I will be able to. Definitions of Commercial Use on the Web: Link.
Just because you have adsense ads on your site doesn't necessarily mean it is considered "commercial". Maybe your sites are for the sole purpose of monetization but many are not. I don't have to email Google because I have already had numerous conversations with adsense staff about my site which they have looked at in great detail themselves to help me optimize it and they have never once even mentioned that having ads on pages with embedded youtube was not OK. So I will have to respectfully disagree with you. Just don't put obvious copyright infringing material on your site and you should be fine.
You can excerpt a paragraph or two from someone else's copyrighted original article on your own site for the purpose of commentary or "reporting", but you have to link back to the original source if they're online or provide proper citation if they're not, to let your readers know that it is not your original writing, but someone else's. This is allowed by just about everyone, including all the major journalistic institutions on and offline.
If your site takes in revenue of ANY type, it is considered commercial. This includes adsense, advertising, link sales, selling memberships, even donations for "bandwidth" - and it also has nothing to do with turning a net profit.
Lol, I'm not going to waste my time arguing with a person who doesn't think adsense+youtube on a site isn't okay. Read the TOS - it's clearly explained for all to see.
