Video Stealing

[JohnFogarty]

I didn't know this was such a huge problem. (As in I didn't know people were doing it.)

Whenever I use someone else's videos on my team's site. Which I may have done once. It was using the YouTube embedding function. Therefore I never took/stole their content at all I just "shared" it. I think the whole concept of sharing video/photo content vs stealing content is a bit mixed up and because of how public and open places like YouTube are the lines between sharing and stealing are somewhat hard to see.

I get your problem and I agree, but I also think it's too easy for people to take content for themselves and Google/YouTube should have fixed the big allowing such easy downloading of video content ages ago.

You should be fine if you use the embed function on youtube. If you don't want your videos embedded on other people's sites then you can turn this off in your video settings on youtube.

Now if they are downloading them and reposting them without the youtube embedding then it is wrong.

This is not about sharing videos.
