Yes, I have embedded “a lot” of videos in my websites. That must be the reason. So now – my account has been suspended, and I`m getting efforts to get another one. The idea is that my app uses the YouTube API, which sends videos directly from YouTube, so I can`t delete a particular video unless it`s removed from YouTube first. There are many websites that do the same. Should I be worried? The ability to use someone else`s YouTube video on your website depends on the license agreement between you and the copyright holder of the video. In general, you are allowed to embed a YouTube video on your website as long as you comply with YouTube`s terms of service. If the video contains images of people under the age of 18, you`ll likely need a waiver form from a parent or guardian. See our blog post Can you use your own photos on your website? Maybe not. I have no idea how to make a video, SweetiePie, or how it could be put on Youtube if I could put one.
If I could, I would prefer to use my own video too. If you find your YouTube video on another website without your permission, you need to follow their procedure to request removal of the video. YouTube cannot request removal for you. An artist embeds a YouTube video uploaded by someone else, but the content of that video shows. So who is the rightful owner? The person who shot the video? Or the artist in the video who didn`t know he was being filmed? If I have provided a regular link to a YouTube video that may be infringing (i.e. a video placed on YouTube without the consent of the content owner), the problem becomes more opaque because the counterfeit video should not have been on YouTube in the first place. The posting of a link to it may be considered a form of “distribution” that constitutes copyright infringement. Click the share icon, and then click the embed icon to get the embed code to place the video on your website or blog. The YouTube embed code automatically includes an attribution link to the source, which appears below the video. The Terms of Service state that an original video creator may grant any user a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to access and share their videos on YouTube. This access allows you to reproduce, modify, redistribute and display the videos on your website.
We probably received a counter-notification of your deletion request. The video will be restored unless you prove that you have taken legal action against the creator to limit the allegedly infringing activity. If we don`t receive this notification from you within 10 days, we may restore the images to YouTube. In this case, it is a counterfeit video. There are many such videos on YouTube, usually movies, TV shows, and music videos. It is clearly against copyright to embed a counterfeit YouTube video in your article, blog or website. Such a video is not even legal on YouTube. A video is uploaded to an official channel, they have enabled the embed code, but the same company requires that the embedded video be removed from my website. You also hereby grant each user of the Service a non-exclusive license to access Your Content through the Service and to use, reproduce, distribute, display and perform such Content to the extent permitted by the functionality of the Service and in accordance with these Terms of Service. [YouTube Terms of Service Part 6C] As in all situations, every circumstance is different and legal advice must be sought from a lawyer before a case is challenged.
This article is not legal advice or legal advice. This article is an opinion of the author. To use video on your website, you can use a built-in video embedding feature or a plugin like the WP RSS aggregator. Vimeo is another great video sharing site. It attracts over 100 million visitors per month and hosts over a million videos. It was originally founded as a place for film artists to share and promote their work, which encourages quality feedback. Oh no. I use YouTube videos a lot because people say so are fine and there is a YouTube capsule.
maybe the capsules are just for our own videos (HP User-Made). Thank you for answering this question! Beautifully written article. If the copyright owner has left the embed option enabled, they have given permission to embed it (or they need to read the terms of use more carefully, and it`s not your fault). Tip. Limit your homepage aggregation to the 5 most recent so that people can actually visit your website without crashing their browser. FTL embedded videos. Although there are over 37 million YouTube channels, only a few of them publish original content. This means that many videos have been uploaded to YouTube without the consent of the original owners. Otherwise, a YouTube video is nothing more than a link to another place and if a simple link can be considered a copyright infringement, we all have big problems. In Perfect10 v. Google Inc., the 9th District Court ruled in favor of Google that links via HTML code (they sued Google because the thumbnails appeared in Google Image Search) do NOT constitute copyright infringement.
In fact, the courts have taken this position on a case-by-case basis. It takes more than just a link to another source to infringe someone`s copyright. When I first published this article, I took a firm stance against embedding YouTube videos without contacting the owner first. However, Ian very kindly pointed out in the comments below that I was wrong. And I really was! If the video owner decides to remove or disable the video from YouTube so that it no longer appears on third-party websites, the embedded video will no longer work on your website. In other words, your page has a rectangular area where the video is not displayed. What I`m saying here also applies to trailers and teasers of movies and TV shows. And this also applies to fan videos that synthesize footage from various movies or TV shows.
Even if you think it falls under the “fair dealing” provision of the Copyright Act and you are actually promoting these programs to the copyright holder, commercial television or film companies may disagree. Still, isn`t inserting a youTube video into a hub usually a way to “enhance your content to make your website more dynamic”? This is a technique that many people use to get visitors to stay on their pages longer, get a higher rank, and attract more clicks on ads. Isn`t that a copyright violation? Too many embedded videos mean it kills loading time, which means it`s not worth it for them to read your crappy blog. Most people have no idea what a nightmare it can be to open a page full of embedded videos + inefficiently created images + pages and chatter pages. Is it okay to embed YouTube videos on a website that shows ads? How do I deal with this situation, i.e. I have videos on my website, but I don`t want to get into trouble because I have these videos on my website. If the owner hasn`t turned on sharing, you`ll need to get their permission first before using the video on your site. At the same time, if you post an excerpt on a YouTube site, you can always click the button to save it as your own copyright – and not allow others to embed the link in their website (all these settings are on youtube) – and yes, someone will probably copy and distribute it illegally (the last person, who did this to me was my British record company, who sold my album in the US AGAINST our written contract. and NO, I`ve never seen any money from this release in the US – the record companies have the power, the individual Musos don`t, but at least I can now free myself. kind. I read your posts and understood that it`s legal to embed YouTube videos that we`ve downloaded from users who don`t own them. Copyright infringement is an issue here at Hubpages.
I had thought it was probably part of YouUde`s terms that their videos could be embedded, as a lot of people do it on HubPages. It seems that this is not the case. If the integration is illegal, why do they offer APIs? and there are so many websites that live on APIs And since Viralnova embeds the videos in their page, I don`t think they ask permission from every author. Part 6C of the YouTube Terms of Service grants you a limited license to use the video only to the extent permitted by the functionality of the “YouTube” service and under these “YouTube” Terms of Service. Thank you for the well-researched and thoughtful center. I`ve avoided embedding videos in my hubs because I`m not sure about this issue. Unfortunately, I still haven`t had a final opinion one way or another. In 2012, the Seventh District Court of Appeals for Flava Works, Inc. ruled against Gunter.
In this case, Flava Works was an adult entertainment company that produced pornographic videos and images. Flava Works owned several copyrights and trademarks. Part of Flava Works` business is to broadcast videos on its various websites. MyVidster was a website where users could post videos that could be viewed and viewed by other users. Flava Works sued myVidster for copyright infringement related to video embedding. I do not know whether his case will be dismissed in court or not. But the fact that such things happen means that you may need to exercise caution before simply embedding other people`s YouTube video in case you come across such an unsuspecting videographer. I`m not sure exactly what you can do other than ask permission from the copyright holder (assuming you can find a way to contact the owner). If, in addition to providing the EMBED code (via the share button), the copyright holder also explicitly states that you can embed the video on your page, you should have no problem. You keep saying, “As noted above, some people feel like the video will be in the public domain if the embed option remains enabled.” Of course not! To make something in the public domain, the owner must put it in the public domain by expressing it explicitly.
