Can You Repost someones youtube video?

[coreytucker]

Say I want to repost a youtube video of someones dog. Can I do this or is it against youtubes rules?

[gbarrows31]

I do it all the time..

[Adie]

Reposting is different from embedding.. You can't dreat another video from that original video but you can always post the embedded code somewhere.

[SShip]

If the owner of the video allows you to embed the video then yes. But, you can't claim the video as yours and you can't download it and re-upload it as yours.

Illegal and stealing, especially those videos not labeled with creative commons...

Doing this over and over is a great way to get your channel banned.

[Allissa]

Youtube (Google) is getting more and more sophisticated at determining this is being done, so it's a really bad business model to depend on this working long term, regardless of what minor things you modify when re-posting!

Ethical and legal ways to use other peoples' videos:

1 Embed videos on your own pages. Most Youtube users allow their videos to be embedded.

2 Log into your Youtube account and go to the video editor. Then do a search for Creative Commons videos. There are millions of videos where the owner allows you to use them.

3 Create playlists in your Youtube account. Every public video on Youtube can be used in playlists. Add your own short videos to the playlists as introductions and "commercials".

Like I've posted before, with all the ways you can legitimately use Youtube videos you have to be a real klepto to resort to stealing them.

You can embed peoples videos on your website. Do not download people's videos and upload them to You Tube as your own. That is against their rules and you can get banned.

You are a thief.

[OutsourceFactor]

Best thing to do is just ask the owner if it's ok or not. I'm not sure if it's violating Intellectual property laws but still, asking the owner is the best thing to do.

I'm curious. Is there a way to filter YouTube videos according to license? I've been Googling it but can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

Log into your Youtube account and go to the video editor. There you should see a CC button, which is the Creative Commons search.

Or, go to Youtube and do a regular search. Then: Filter: Features: Closed Caption

Or, do a search in Youtube using the following syntax:
dog training, creativecommons

How can I put this politely...

You're a scumbag.

[RedShifted]

I don't steal videos but I will remix them. Same as I remix music.

[contentwriting360]

You nailed it, Kurt.
Perhaps, you can answer my question, too. Let's say I use videos with a 'Standard YouTube License.' Can I upload them in my own channel but will put a description that tells the original source of the video? Will I be penalized still?

No, you can't do this legally/ethically. However, you can use videos with a standard Youtube license in playlists on your own channel.

A playlist takes you to the video view page of each video in the list. What you need to do is create a couple of simple 5-10 second videos that tell people to click the link in the description below. Now, just add these short "commercial" videos at the start, end and inbetween the videos in your playlists.

For example, make a playlist of your favorite cheesecake recipes. Add your own short intro video to the begining of the playlist. Then add a video for a good cheesecake recipe.

Next, add another short "call to action" video of your own to have viewers click on the link in your description to get the "100 Best Cheesecake Recipes".

Add another cheesecake video.

Repeat with a call to action video.

Repeat as needed.

This is totally acceptable by Youtube's TOS and EVERY video in Youtube can be added to a playlist on your channel.

Playlists can and do show up in the Youtube search results.

IMO, you're better off using Creative Commons videos because you can edit them and they will appear on your own video view page, but playlists do have some benefits and can be beneficial for promoting your channel page.

PS...Don't forget that most videos are set to allow you to embed them on your own pages. Take advantage of popular/viral videos and embed them on your own site, then promote them using social networks like twitter and facebook.

If the videos are popular on Youtube, you may as well benefit from their popularity by putting them on your own pages, then send people to your pages instead of Youtube.

[Chris Silvey]

As a vendor I would definitely provide videos as marketing and sales tools for my affiliates. Much more effective than banners I would say. So the thought of syndication at this level must be considered.

[contentwriting360]

But, of course, those videos MUST be relevant to the niche of your website. Correct?

You need permission to do this same as with music.

That would be one strategy.

Another strategy is to find videos that create traffic, then target a page/site to that traffic.

[contentwriting360]

Kurt,

Just a question regarding your statement below. Pardon my ignorance.

Don't forget that most videos are set to allow you to embed them on your own pages.

How will I know if a video is set to allow me to embed it on my own website/web page? Is there something that I need to click from YouTube to find that out?

Thanks for your answer.

If the video provides and embed code, that means it should be fine to use. Just click "share" then "embed" to see the code.

I appreciate your response, Wendy. I found that too by Google-ing it. I forgot to update my thread here. But I appreciate your response.

[GaurabBorah]

Yeah if they are not copyrighted. Respect the copyright rules and you'll be fine.

Not sure how exactly you remix those videos, but still you are using other people's work without their permission. I cannot even say what were my feelings when I saw that my videos were republished by another person, all he had done was covered my site's name in the videos.

When you put a work in to that what you are doing and then someone simply comes and thinks that he is the smartest on the planet, puts his link below your work and publish it, it is really disappointing ...

Still, I'm for honest principles in IM, including the use of videos, which should not be remixed as well ...

You don't need permission. Very popular YouTube channels that remix videos and make a lot of money off of Google ads displaying on those remixed videos has Google's blessing. One example is:
