Dainc Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hi all, I couldn't think of a better place to ask for some advice. A lot of you here have a lot of knowledge on these things. Let's say I steal someone's thumbnail from YouTube and simply add text above it. Can I get a copyright strike? Any way around this to copy the art thumbnail? Thank you and happy new year!

Kramnik Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 My guess would be is that you can. Not that you will, but if you want to be 100% safe use free to use content or paid like from shuterstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you changed text or colour and they sue you the judge would decide is this enough to blame you for copyright infringement or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I read somewhere that if I add a simple line over the image it becomes mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I read somewhere that if I add a simple line over the image it becomes mine? There is laws about movie clips or music. Can't say exact rules, but for e.g. you can't play 5 secods of song before you get copyright striked. If you find someone using there could be many cases if let's say youtube channel is huge, maybe they contacted movie producers to get right to play 1 minute of it for some price. And if the channel is small maybe it's new and doesn't give a shit if it will be banned or smth. It doesn't mean it simple has a way around it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding a line over it doesn't make it yours. Read credible sources. 21 hours ago, Dainc said: A true example of a Mod on a power struggle. You're in the wrong here. Chill.
