@frogmoor : maybe US citizen can read properly and well educated and as such no effort is required to publicize it.

Anyway, the 'world' is out there, if you are not willing to give up your full copyright, then chances are they will get someone who will to do the job.

And there is a miss concept that many think if you took the photo, you own it. If Company A hires you as photographer, Company A owns all rights. You have no rights on the photos taken. Else you would sold it to other people.

China is current blocked Youtube, can you upload the video to other video hosting? i.e. VIMEO or some other China video hosting. Looking for your update.

What a useful video for clients, image makers and the public at large. It is a disgrace the U.S. Copyright Office hasn't produced a similar effort and publicized it. Copyright is a small business and private property issue that, unless understood and respected, will take the food off the table of many artist and entrepreneur families.
