Question
I plan to launch a YouTube channel which will be informational and will have pictures/videos from the internet. Will there be any problem in monetizing the videos I create?
If yes, how do channels like Alltime10s/Dark 5/List 25 go about asking for permission to each of the owners of pictures/videos?
Answers: 1 public & 0 private
Yes. It is generally unlawful to monetize photos and videos that you did not create. YouTube has an internal procedure that may result in your videos taken down if the copyright owner files a complaint. Please review 17 U.S. Code § 504 and 17 U.S. Code § 512.
