I've noticed that a lot of hubs display third-party youtube videos. What's the copyright deal with youtube? I've searched the net for answers but have found conflicting reports. Most say that if the embed code is on the video, it's fair game. Is this true? I don't want to get into any trouble!
It's not a question of "fair game".
You breach copyright if you copy a photo or video without having permission. When you embed a video, you're not copying - you're creating a link to the original video. So it's fine.
i guess it's ok to place those, since the're on youtube, they are shared among the masses, so why not.
If a shared link is included, you're free to use it.
If they don't want the video distributed, they put embedding disabled.
Otherwise, it's free publicity for them.
I've had several YouTube posters e-mail me and thank me for posting their vids on blogs and Hubs.

I am absolutely distraught. Some of my best hubs contain youtube videos. I have found that anyone logged into hubpages can see my videos without any problem. Today my Dad happened to be looking at my hubs and said "there are no videos here". Stunned, I went onto hubpages and logged out of...

I just made my first youtube video. It's just a slideshow but I got a new camcorder yesterday. Since I have a tourist website I'll be making videos of Disney and the other theme parks here in Orlando.I have my URL both in the beginning and end of the video. Does anyone else make youtube videos to...
