    Hi guys, I basically run a video blog which embeds music videos into the blog posts. I put a introduction on the music videos with a link to my blog (to drive traffic) then post it on youtube and embed it on my site. The music videos are normally of the latest singles around etc...
    Is my site legal?

    If you don't own the content, it isn't legal.

    If you are using videos that are already available, I don't see where the conflict is...what are you unsure about ?

    Are you making your own videos using other people's music ? Or putting additions onto videos that you didn't create ? Both of those would be illegal.
