5.2 Copyright Law 

Court Rules That Embedding A Video Is Not Copyright Infringement>>

The following are extracts from this United States of America Court Decison:

"The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled yesterday that a site that embeds copyrighted videos from another site is not committing copyright infringement. The court case between Flava Works, Inc. and myVidster.com came to a close after this ruling was passed in favor of the defendant, myVidster. The court also ruled that watching an infringing video does not constitute copyright infringement".

“…as long as the visitor makes no copy of the copyrighted video that he is watching, he is not violating the copyright owner's exclusive right… His bypassing Flava's pay wall by viewing the uploaded copy is equivalent to stealing a copyrighted book from a bookstore and reading it. That is a bad thing to do (in either case) but it is not copyright infringement.”

5.3 Copyright Law  

Copyright tips for posting online videos >>

The following are extracts from this article:

"When uploading a video onto YouTube, the site requires that users electronically agree to host their own material on the website, and verify that there isn't any copyrighted work being infringed. To directly infringe a copyrighted work, you have to exercise one of the exclusive rights of the original copyright holder has such as reproducing, distributing, creating a derivative, or publicly performing or displaying the work. So providing a link to an infringing copyright would not be considered direct infringement".

"So, to answer your question, because YouTube is so diligent on keeping up with the concerns of copyright holders, you as a third party website owner should not be held liable for copyright infringement if you were unfortunately to link to something that infringes...".
