of Work from Others
Are you interested in making your own video to be
displayed on the YouTube website? If you are, you may
be wondering what type of video you should make. While
there are a large number of different YouTube videos that
you can make and share with other internet users, there
are certain types of videos that you may want to avoid.
One of those videos involves video content that isn’t
actually yours.
When it comes to making your own YouTube videos, you
will want to make sure that the videos are actually yours.
It is common to find videos on YouTube that have similar
ideas or concepts; that is okay. What is not okay is
actually using someone else’s work. This is actually
illegal, as many videos, television shows, movies, and
music videos are protected by copyright laws. Copyright
laws aim to protect those who legally own a piece of
work, like a television show, movie, or music video. Since
someone else’s work is often protected by law, you could
suffer serious consequences for using someone else’s
work, especially if you try and claim it as your own.
What you need to remember about copyright laws is that
they include every second or word of the piece in
question. For instance, there are some YouTube video
owners who think that they can show different clips of
their favorite movies, music videos, or television shows.
Many believe since they are not showing the item in its
entirety, they are safe from breaking any copyright laws,
