Would it be illegal to put Al's new Dualdisk videos on the internet?

I suspect it would.

Well, all of them are already on YouTube. I really don't know. Since YouTube came around, noone knows about video copyright anymore.

So would it be illegal to put those youtube videos on your myspace?

Actually...early on, many TV networks, etc DID enforce their copyright on videos on youtube.com. However, since then, many take the position that they are getting free advertising and do not enforce their copyright. This does not mean it does not exist or that violating it is not illegal.

Hey, it doesn't matter if you use Limewire, or put music videos on YouTube. It IS illegal, but is anybody really gonna do anything about it? A Google-YouTube lawsuit...I'd love to see that.

Oh, and W&N (the user), even though people may have already put the videos on MySpace (I hope not), I wouldn't suggest it.

I'll take your advise

Didn't Al's record company remove the official "White & Nerdy" video from YouTube? That indicates their feeling on the matter.

Why would they do that? Al himself put it up there, didn't he?
