What's all this arguing? This video is rubbish anyway...

[Phillip Serna]

A notice that it appears with permission is respectful. When I have produced video content of copyrighted material (music that occurs only in rental form because the copyright is with the composer or publisher), it is important to get permission and get a license (even if the fee is small) because some publishers WILL issue cease & disist letters. It is jsut an issue of respect and ethics. It's all okay to distribute material like this if it is due credited as to whose content it was.

This comment is laughable because as youtube already notified the VdGSA, they could request that it is taken down and youtube would do it. Why would the VdGSA waste it's time anyway with a court anyway? The point is - for fair use, just ask permission. Fairness IS the issue her. Why is it more ethical to take content off of their site, repost it on here, and then not ask permission? Why can't the originator of the content be shown some respect? That is all I staed with my original comment.

[Phillip Serna]

The VdGSa still has the right (after they contacted youtube) to have the video taken down. They won't do this of course, but if you look at the VdGSA site there is no creative commons license or free rights permissions there. The rights still stay with the party that creates the content. I'm not arguing this in regards to fees or license fees. just getting ethical permission.

[Phillip Serna]

Legally - They never saught permission to use VdGSA produced content in their youtube channel -- and yes, it was the VdGSA who paid to produce the video. When you can produce excerpts of the copyright law that gives free license to use others content, more power to you. The VdGSA would likely give permission if they had been asked (which I know this user hadn't because a colleague on the VdGSA board mentioned it to me).

[Phillip Serna]

It is their intellectual property that has posted here and this user should have 1) asked their permission to post it (and I know from their former webmaster this is NOT the case) & 2) properly credited them as the source of this video (which woud have been nice to have used the higher-res source video so that the quality would not be so bad when upsizing it.

What does the gamba society have to do with it?
