A short note about YouTube
If you use YouTube to post videos I hope you read your user
agreement closely. Did you know that you authorize others to post your video
within specific parameters?
“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 as permitted through the
functionality of the Service and under these Terms of Service.” (YouTube terms
of service section 6C)
This also has an impact on bloggers. This means that you can post
other peoples YouTube videos on your blog. You must have it linked back to the
original YouTube post though. I would also ensure that you cite your source
appropriately. I would be careful but you are covered by the YouTube TOS if you
want to do it.
