youtube legal help

[Hypnotic13371337]

thanks for all the replys guys, the feedback to the question has been loads of help.

altho i would still like a forum dev to come in and give his 2 cents just so i can get SE's position on the matter

This has to do with one of their tools for detecting copyright material. It detects visual elements which allow them to detect possible content that may be infringing on copyright.

You ever see a video where the images are clearly backwards, meaning letters are backwards, left is right, right is left? That's one way people get around it, currently they cannot detect that method.

You probably have nothing to worry about unless SE wants that content removed for whatever reason, but I don't know of any case, outside of ALPHA/BETA that they have before for FFXIV.

[Dhalmel]

You can because our DH, Ifrit and Moogle videos for FFXIV are all monetized.

Just because you can or done so in the past, doesn't mean you're legally right. If square REALLY wanted to they could sue you for making money off their material without their permission.

As to OP

Often this is the case of a false flag but this time it seems correct. I've once had a preview track I uploaded flagged for copyright infringement, see here "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BU_XsmfL1bU". What was odd was that I had written and verbal permission Katsuhiko Maeda himself to upload. Turns out it was some phony organization claiming it was their content.

Best thing for you to do is nothing this is just to prevent you from making money off of your video

Never said it was legally right. It was posted that you "can't" do it and I stated otherwise. The ability to do something has nothing to do with if you should or shouldn't do something lol.

Basically its a warning that you cant make money off of it and most likely because it belongs to SE, it is allowed to place commercials which makes them money.

DoctorMog, another program you can use is windows live movie maker to drop the size. That's what I personally use. The updated version.

thats what i do as well, i use WLMM to merge all the clips into one file, then use handbrake to lower the WLMM file down to about 400 mb

Unrelated a bit, but for those with youtube channels I recommend bandicam for your recording needs over fraps. It records and processes your files at the same time, so no need for handbreak or any post reducing of files.
