is it ok to post links to music from youtube on my forum or will that fall into copyright category?

it's just links i don't allow embed on the forum.

You can.

thank but i need it see if from a admin

Why you wouldn't can?
If you have Youtube code for videos...

because it music it could be class as copyright with copyright they dont warn you they just delete your forum.. i just want to be 100% before i allow it to carry it on

Yes, you cannot post music. There could be copyright claims for the same.

I would like to differ.
In the TOS of Forumotion it mentions this. So basically the owner is responsible for the transmission of the content in any way via the service of Forumotion.

Responsibility of Contents
You acknowledge and convene that any information, code, data, text, software, music, sound, photograph, picture, graphics, video, chat, messages, feature, or any other content, if transmitted publicly or in private, are the only responsibility of the person from whom the content comes from.. This means that you are, and in any case, entirely responsible of any content that you upload/download, post, send by e-mail or transmitted by any other way, than via the services. In no circumstance, Forumotion.com will be held responsible in any way or any content from a user or from a third-party, including but not limited to, any mistake or omission in these contents, or for any loss or damage of any kind, by the fact of the use of these contents noticed and, sent by e-mail or transmitted in any way via the services.

Yes, you are responsible for the contents you post. So if its music thats posted on youtube, which can also have its claims can cause problems here.

Simply put, if i add movies on youtube & then post the links or embed it on youtube i am transmitting the content via my forum & i have to take responsibility & forumotion is not responsible. No one can file a suit against forumotion this way. If someone reports the forum, Forumotion will take action against the forum without hesitation.

I think thats how it is, because i remember in the past forums have been deleted for showing live streaming of football games. They as well embedded just a third party player to stream these, but it was the forum admin who was transmitting the stream.

Thats exactly my point, if the content itself is Legal then you can post it.

But, most of the music posted on youtube I think don't have the rights to distribute it.

So its better not to take a chance since you are not aware if the music posted has the rights or doesn't. Only official channels on youtube can have the rights to distribute this music.

so it doesn't matter links still can be class as copyrighted?


here link to official channel

^^^ is that against forumotion rules

what about movies trailers ?


what about if I name the title of a song in a music forum would that be class as copyrighted also?

what about something like this

Artist:- Ludacris Feat. Nate Dogg
Song:- Area Codes
www.youtube.com

would this be fine?

cool our music forum id pretty busy over the weekend..

now i know what i can and cant do i'm going make a music forum rules get some to mod it everyday.... i dont want my forum to be deleted without warning

So is this solved now?

lol

Sanket this is such an old debate. Very big misconception

You are not responsible for what is uploaded to youtube.
It is youtube's responsibility to remove any things that may be under copyright infringement.

Youtube provides and offer the links and codes to share on websites and forums and other social networks.. There for the website or forum owner can not be held responsible of copyrights for content posted on youtube. It would have to be reported to youtube for them to remove and or take any actions they feel necessary from the account they have been uploaded from.

Now if it was something inappropriate such as porn.Then no, You the forum owner would be help responsible for such things as inappropriate content no matter where it came from.

But everyday youtube music videos, Once again it is youtubes responsibility to take necessary actions to have it removed from youtube.

If it was a violation for forumotion forum owners not to allow copyrighted videos and other content from youtube.. well every forum would be in violation .. LOL

But yeah sanket, this goes back way way far, even before i was a mod.
It's one of those things that have always been a big misconception.

But yeah you cant be held responsible when it is youtube providing options to post and share on other sites.

Then porn is porn and completely different

Anyway.. I'll see if i can track down typlos old post on it.

Kirk, times have changed. It is youtube's responsibility to remove the content, but i already quoted my posts with respect to the TOS of Forumotion.


@S-t-e-v-e-
The link you gave, when you click on show more. You will see this.
License:
Standard YouTube License


http://zeighy.net/blog/entry/953

Well, in a standard Youtube License, you declare that you are the owner of the work or has been licensed that you can upload/distribute the video. Basically, you are either a) the copyright owner of the work, or b) the owner of the work has allowed you to upload it to Youtube, and that a) other people CAN’T USE/REMIX your work without your permission.

So it means, after the permission from the author in my opinion.


S-t-e-v-e-, do you remember this post.
https://help.forumotion.com/t109789-forum-banned-by-onlineguardian#719316
So if you have a Music Forum on your forum, it could be problematic. Hence, i say don't take a chance.

that why i'm asking year and half worth a work gone in sec without warning i needed to find out.

is this fine sanket?

Artist:- Ludacris Feat. Nate Dogg
Song:- Area Codes
www.youtube.com

As i said, you will need to find it out whats allowed & whats not. We can just give you examples of what we understand of the TOS of forumotion.

will this get my forum deleted? can you ask godfather or whoever is the boss of forumotion i need to know if i'm doing something wrong

Video-Sharing Website & Music Forum Rules


To protect the forum from being closed down we have to draw up new 'video sharing and music forum rules', which will be enforced now. Please read the following list, these are no longer allowed on our great forum.

List of things we can not allow anymore:

• Music videos links or embed links on the forum.
  
• Videos of your dogs with music on.
  
• Any other videos that could have copyright material included.

If any of these thing are found they will be edited out of the post. Please do not be offended, we are only protecting the forum from any issues that may pop up in the future with copyright laws that could get the forum closed down.

If you want to share a video with music on or add song with everyone from now on it can only be done in this format;

How to add and share a video with music on:

• Artist:- Name of the artist
  
• Song / Username:- Song title / Username
  
• www.youtube.com <--- give them a link to youtube and it be upto the member to find the video

So you are saying that you just give them the criteria for the search on youtube? That is perfectly fine then.

yea..... are 100% sure i dont want my forum to be deleted

Where was the quoted information from?

Sanket wrote:Where was the quoted information from?

i wrote it up for my forum

I think its allowed then, as long as no links are posted. I will still let Leeloo confirm it for you.

thanks Sanket

Hello,

You're allowed to post some Youtube links. If the content breaks the copyrights, the video will be removed from Youtube, but it has nothing to do with Forumotion.

You don't risk to see your forum banned. The only cases when the forum is banned by Online Guardian without any warning are when the forum is completely illegal or when we received an order from a competent authority.

Thanks

so i can post link to youtube music videos

S-t-e-v-e- wrote:so i can post link to youtube music videos

Yes. What's not allowed, is to make available on your forum some links to download copyrighted contents.
The streaming links are also prohibited.

In fact, what's usually prohibited on the web, is also prohibited on Forumotion.
And Youtube is totally legal.

god i just deleted over 7000 posts last night thinking i was breaking forumotion rules

Leeloo, but some content on youtube which is illegal what is that considered on Forumotion?
