Protecting a youtube video

I hope you guys get a good deal out of it, and don't forget that there are entertainment lawyers who you can take the contracts to. Unfortunately they aren't exactly cheap (well I guess that can be quite a relative term), but they tell you if you're getting the hosed or not.

Im not a legal expert which makes it difficult wading through the remaining document which I am trying to do at the moment. I love your second bit as that is exactly what I told faz last night. They aint doing us a favour and when they said "but we go out to 2 million plus viewers" our reaction was - so what?

I would recommend retaining a lawyer to review the contract before you sign anything especially, if you do not have a law background. While the offers can bring in money/attention, without knowing the contents of the contract you could end up owing money if you unknowingly violate any tenants of a signed contract. Typically, for a lawyer to review a contract, you will not have to spend much money.

Sidenote: That being said, it would be very interesting to see a story made about Faz and how he developed his speed. Of course, the non-cubers which would be the ones producing the story, would not understand the technical aspects. They would most likely, focus on the speed rather than the intricacies involved in the application of the methods in combination with the natural ability.

I have nearly finished a short doco aimed mainly at non-cubers called "the road to 6.77". Faz doesnt want it on his youtube channel so I will be putting it on mine. And he wants it promoted on the quiet so this is all I am going to say about it...

I have found a youtube user, oscar8777b, who has copied Fazs video and received 19,000+ hits. What are peoples advice as to what to do about this? Fill out a copyright complaint form or ignore?

I believe that you can flag the video for copyright infringement, and that's my suggestion as what to do. Like you said, Faz deserves every bit he can get, and that's taken 19,000+ bits already.

Yes, maybe he deserve hits. And actually, the owner of rights on the video is who films the video, not whio perform on it, unless you have a contract. So, in the current state of thing, he deserve nothing and have no right to claim anything. Who did film the video does.
 
I first sent a few gentle messages to the user to play on his guilts in copying the video with no success. So I sent an email to youtube following their copyright violation guidelines and within two hours the copied video had been removed!

You so 'sweep-lube' your 3x3x3s, but how do you protect the stickers?
