Respect Other People's Work and Don't Steal It

[dannno]

I agree that one video with 500k views is better than 100 videos with 50 views.

Would you agree that when a youtube account gets deleted, having the videos stratesphied over multiple accounts is good as well?

 

[dannno]

It is REALLY annoying when it happens to yourself. I uploaded a short film I worked on for months, and right away someone uploaded it as their own! I got it taken down, but it drove a good bit of traffic away from mine.

Did you make the video for you, or for Ron Paul?

For myself, it was a short action film.

Does posting to youtube imply some sort of copyright?

Yes. In fact, the copyright was imposed prior to even uploading. YouTube is not public domain and does a pretty good job enforcing IP rights.

 

[IndianaPolitico]

so?

Fruits of my labor... Plus, I am shooting for YT partnership someday.

 

[CasualApathy]

The only situation where I can see justified anger over someone else stealing your views is (as mentioned above) if you're actually trying to become a youtube partner and make money on your channel as video view counts and likes factor in to that decision when youtube looks at who to make a parther. That being said i doubt many channels uploading political videos will ever make youtube partner. It's mainly gaming and lifestyle/gossip channels who seem to make the cut at the moment.

Most of the people who make youtube videos take samples from copyrighted news interviews, debates and from other peoples photos. Maybe nobody should be allowed to make a youtube video?

 

[LibertyEagle]

I agree with this.

I do too, but shouldn't that decision be up to the one who created the work? We don't like it when government or do-gooders decide that they know best what to do with the fruits of our labors, but yet, some of us seem to do the very same thing. Sure, there are all kinds of excuses, but in my opinion, they are just that. Excuses.

Then how is it related to this thread?

Winnah.


Stop whining, share the message.

The discussion is about people re-uploading other people's YT videos, that is what happened.

Copyright is pure evil, but people should still be decent and atleast credit the creator.

Whining about it won't help though, besides you probably stole clips/pictures\music from other people too. Next time put your name/account name in the video itself at the end or something.

Time is considered private property

mind = blown

Can you point out to me what was 'stolen' from the OP? Seems to me nothing was considering:

1) He is still in full possession of his video
2) His video is still accessible via YT (as it originally is/was)

Seems to me that he has exactly everything he had before this thread was made (aka after someone duplicated the video). Lest I remind you, that video views are not property, nor does anyone have a right to viewership, or euphemistically profit.

Again, your logic is simply founded in inexperience in dealing with it. Redistribution IS infringement. As a professional creative, I take offense to it, every time I see it occur.

I think the biggest example is the new "The One" ad from the campaign. Right after it was uploaded, the RonPaul2008dotcom channel uploaded it as their own as usual. It took away over 150,000 views! That is alot of traffic lost.

No doubt about that! I wasn't aware that ronpaul2008dotcom did that....wouldn't surprise me if it was just a traffic stunt to get ratings up on their little account.

That is your opinion.

Ofcourse it is CaptainObvious.
