These Days, Without A Video, Most People Just Don't Bother..

I don't monetize my channel on Youtube or Vimeo, so I guess perhaps they could look at it as additional free promotion. About a thousand plays is the most I have received on any live action video that contains any recognizable material. That. in combination with the 15 second rule probably makes it if not legal at least fairly benign and certainly not worth the trouble of any action. The only time I got any reprimand was for a video I did for a live version of a song by Howard Devoto and Magazine. The live version was considerable better than the studio record, but had no footage, so I stretched and tugged on the live audio until it matched the promo vid. EMI wasn't pleased, they made it inoperable, but I had sent it to one of the band members and he liked what I did, and a week later is was unblocked. Here is something to also wonder about, most of the footage I use is fairly obscure, never put up by anyone affiliated with the owners of the material, and most of them are monetized. So not only are they posting material they do not own, they are getting some sort of return on it. I have learned quite a bit about using Moviemaker, probably not that useful but it works for my little purposed and I enjoy the process now that I got a lot more efficient doing it.....
