Help with copyright for videos?

[taxreff]

For those new to copyright issues, there is a very simple way to avoid copyright infringement. That is:

(1) Before you post anything for which you don't own the copyright, get written permission from the copyright holder to post it, and,

(2) If you do not have or cannot get (for example, if you cannot find who the owner is) permission, do not post it.

Copyright can be a complex legal subject, but learning and following the basic rules will keep you out of trouble. Learning the differences between copyright licenses (All Rights Reserved, Creative Commons) will also help you find material you can repost, and avoid material you cannot.
