hey alek,

obviously if a cc licensor posts to youtube there is no issue. it's only if a licensee posts that we need to think about this. i checked with mike and his response was that YouTube are not applying a TPM. they are simply making it difficult to download but not impossible and there's no real restriction on being able to do so or your usage after that...

Dear all,

I've just came upon a case that's applicable to our discussion on licenses and TPMs / DRMs. I'm wondering, is it a breach of the license to post a CC-licensed work solely on YouTube? It's a site that, after all, doesn't allow copying of files (though it can be done... and quite easily at that). I might be missing something and the obvious answer is "no, it's not!", but otherwise this is an issue, as sites like YouTube are such a popular way of spreading content around.

best,

alek tarkowski
