The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

My YouTube Account has over 200 Subscribers! :)

Hmm... what can I do to top my 100 Subs present of giving them the link to downloading the LBT TV Series Eps?

I'll think of something. :)

It's over 200!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! :D  One question: Do you know something about the "YouTube Partnership Program"? I've got two queries about my videos:

Quote
Earn Money From Your Video
  Apply for partnership to take advantage of your popular video: Super Mario Verarsche

Quote
Earn Money From Your Video
  Apply for partnership to take advantage of your popular video: YouTube Poop - Petrie Dreht Durch

Will I get into trouble when I apply for a partnership? I'm a bit worried because I've used copyrighted material (Super Mario and Land Before Time).


 :unsure:

Yes. You can't become a partner for those videos because the work you made isn't completely your own, the images are someone elses.

I've actually gotten a few of those myself.

As far as I understand it.  The basic thing is that you got a good number of views within a short amount of time, and the fact is that, based on that number of views, YouTube sees it as a potential video for you.  So basically, they are giving you the chance to promote it and earn money based on the views you get.

Unfortunately, the video must be of your own little thing with nothing of copyrighted material, save for that which falls under Fair Use.  If your video is something like a review, commentary or maybe even a parody of Copyrighted Material, you could possibly pull it off, but I wouldn't take the chance, based on how companies are treating them right now.

So yeah, if it's copyrighted material, make sure it's of Fair Use.  Otherwise, don't bother.
