As I'm considering having a section on my website where I'd post youtube videos' not made by me but relating to my niche on my site. I would think it's alright a youtube is public access and the ownership doesn't belong to the individual, but I'm not sure so wanted to ask here.
For the most part it is perfectly fine, when a user uploads a video, they are given the option to "share it", if they click yes, the embed code will show up on the youtube page. If someone doesnt want their youtube video put on other peoples websites, all they have to do is mark that option on the youtube upload page. Be aware though that some users may upload copyrighted content, and allow it to be shared. These videos eventually get deleted from youtube. Hope that helped
It should be fine, when anyone uploads a video they have the option to a) make it public at all and b) allow other to embed it into other pages. The only issue maybe copyrighted material belonging to one of the Media Powerhouses such as Viacom, if possible try and avoid this.
it is not copyrighted to repost at all but most of the time if it is copyrighted "worthy" youtube may already have asked the provider/uploader to disable the embedding codes. Otherwise, it is fine and google even allowed in their adsense + youtube combo program to display youtube vids.
I think its ok alot of site linking their video to youtube. That wats youtube become famous. But posting a copyright video there and link to yoursite. that I dunno Youtube will suspend your account.
not at all- it is not illegal because when user upload their videos they have option to make it private or public and if they making it public so you can share it any where.
Not illegal. But as mentioned above, be aware of videos that include copyrighted material. If you embed such a video on your site and google removes it later you'll end up with an empty box.
