[QuadList] Copyright Issues

Don,

It is not worth the risk to place any material on You Tube that one does not own the rights to.

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??
