YouTube Video interesting copyright clarification


Recommended Posts

There seems to be a recent trend of people feeling comfortable posting DCI, WGI and all kinds of related postings to YouTube and adding the phrase "NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED" as people pass along a rumor that it somehow relieves them of some burden of responsibility when it actually does the opposite. It actually makes the poster more liable because it acknowledges that they are really aware of what they are doing. Here's a link to an interesting article about this with the text below it.

"does adding "no copyright infringement intended" in the description help not to have videos removed?

I read somewhere that if you don't use phrases like that it makes it a little bit more difficult to find your video as having copyrighted content. But now someone told me that if you write that it might not be removed.

Which is right?"

Avoid irrelevant phrases such as: "no copyright infringement

intended", "I do not own the music" or "I don't take credit for

this video". Not only does YouTube look out for "buzz words"

and sentences like those, you are publicly avowing that you

have knowingly taken, used, copied or perhaps even "stolen"

an artist's or company's copyrighted material. You would be

in effect "incriminating" yourself.

Not just that, if you're silly enough to write a lie such as "No

copyright infringement intended", you're in fact contradicting

yourself, because your video itself PROVES that you HAVE

claimed it as your own, and that you HAVE used somebody

else's content for your own purposes. In other words, the vid

itself PROVES the intention to "infringe copyright", because

the video did not just create itself (or upload itself) magically

out of thin air; you knowingly and physically made it happen.
