Would it be the infringement of copyright or duplicate one?

For website content, if I get to use what is said as an interview or introduction for something with transcribing original or editing some on dailymotion or youtube video, would it be the infringement of copyright or duplicate one?

    Not sure I totally understand the question. If you put content tht you own the copyright to on YouTube, you retain the copyright.

    Do you mean, you want to use "Others" videos on your website to introduce products?

      It sounds like he wants to transcribe other peoples' video content and use it as his own text content. He also seems equally worried about copyright violation and 'duplicate content' issues.

      For the first, if I'm correct, just changing the format does not get around the copyright. I can't pick a YouTube video or TED presentation, transcribe it, and use it as my own.

      As for the second, I've proven to myself that nothing I say about duplicate content will change anyone's mind, so I won't even try. The copyright violation is a much bigger issue.

      On the other hand, if the video has an embed code available, then the creator has given YT a license to allow people to use YT's resources to embed the video on their own page. Other video services have similar terms, but one would have to check the license before using them.

        Hello,

        I have a question. If someone uses text from website, spin it and add on his website, Will I be able to take a legal action against him?

        Because the text will pass copyscape after spinning it...

          That's the kind of specific question best put to an actual IP attorney. My layman's opinion is that anyone with the ability to fill out a few forms and come up with the filing fee can file a suit. Winning it will depend on the particulars of the case.

    You can't just change the format and claim the representation/words are yours. Sculptors can't even get away with sculpting from copyrighted images. (One just lost this fight.) The transcript, interview and all it's forms belongs to the person/people who own the interview.

    You might want to contact a lawyer to get such a question answered.

    My opinion, not professional:
    If in doubt you should always assume that you may not use anybody's creation without prior asking for permission.

    If you transcribe the original content you would usually infringe on copyrights of the original creator.

    You should contact the owner of the copyright and ask for permission. If you do not have written permission from the copyright holder you should stay away from this.

    If it was me, I would read the transcription and use it as 'inspiration' to write your own copy, with your own writing style to make it original and add to or subtract some of the content.

      You can take action. The question is whether A) You will prevail B) Will you collect anything worthwhile if you do.

      An attorney can give you an informed opinion but they can't predict the future.

    wass11,

    If you don't want to consult with a lawyer, you do what judges do.
    If in doubt, do not innovate. In other words: Don't do it.
