[QuadList] Copyright Issues

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

are they old clips off quad tapes that  really  don't exist anywhere?   I 
have the feeling most   studios are  worried more about the "popular recent 
stuff"  but   copyright violation is  copyright violaton....
 
 
YouTube  has some fairly harsh warnings about posting video for which you 
do 
not  own the rights and yet it appears to me that probably well over 90% of 
 
what is on the site is in violation of the rules.  My video clips  would be 
among the 90%, and I have reservations about posting these and  others that 
I 
think everyone would enjoy.  I certainly don't derive  any income from the 
clips and I don't believe the owner is losing any  revenue, so perhaps the 
only financial impact is to YouTube who gets more  "free" material.  (By 
the 
way, how does their site make (or propose  to make) any money?)  I doubt 
that 
the owners of what I have already  posted are going to be concerned about 
it, 
but that doesn't make it  right.

So, what's the prevailing wisdom about this?
