Re: Evanescence[edit]
Yes, if the YouTube uploader is not an official channel, then the video cannot be used in any form or fashion on Wikipedia. For example, if someone linked to an Evanescence music video on YouTube, but the uploader there was not the official Evanescence account, it must not be used here. Does that make sense? — Huntster (t @ c) 23:50, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
- So you mean that the video should be flagged for breaking against copyright too?--Buggwiki (talk) 23:53, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- Oh, on YouTube itself? Well, that's up to you...if you want to flag it, do so, but Wikipedia rules do not apply to how you use other websites :) — Huntster (t @ c) 04:13, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
- What I meant was that even on Youtube, or as an international rule, it is forbidden to break against copyright, and I ask you if you want to call this video for illegal.
- Technically speaking, yes, if someone who does not own the rights to a video posts it on YouTube, they are breaking copyright law. Of course, it is unlikely that a production company would ever come after there legally, but it remains a possibility, thus Wikipedia as an entity demands that such copyright violations not be propagated on the site. — Huntster (t @ c) 01:24, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I don't understand. Why should an interview be copyrighted? In an interview information comes. It had been an another thing if it was a song, a film or an audiobook, but not an interview. They should just be happy that they gets help for spread their message and attention so people will be interested at them.
- The copyright is owned by whoever made the interview. Anything that is filmed or otherwise published has a copyright, and usually that copyright is very restrictive (unlike, for example, Wikipedia). So unless the uploader can show he/she is the copyright owner, or that the video is licensed under a free copyright, they do not have permission to upload it. In a perfect world, yes, people would just be happy to have their product spread around, but that is not how most companies operate. — Huntster (t @ c) 20:53, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
