Only Post Original Material
To ensure you are not violating copyright law, post only material that is wholly your original creation or material for which you have purchased or otherwise obtained valid copyright for or material that you are licensed to use. For your original works, all aspects of the work must be original, including even short snippets of video or audio.
Copyrighted Material is Broad
If you did not create the material or secure legal rights in its use, you may not have the right to use it. Material you find on the Internet (including peer to peer files), television, in the movies, on radio or otherwise, including commercials, is all material that if you post or incorporate into a posting, you are likely violating copyright law.
What Happens if We Learn You Have Uploaded Infringing Content or You Believe Content Posted on The Site Violates Copyright Law
If we are notified that a video or other content on a site infringes a copyright, we are required by law to remove it from the Site. You may notify us as described in the Terms of Use. If you believe you had permission to post removed material or that you are the copyright owners of such material, please contact us to let us know. We are required by law to terminate your account if we learn that you have repeatedly posted infringing content.
Fair Use
There is an exception in copyright law for "fair use" of copyrighted material when it meets certain factors specified in law. Simply because you believe you are making "fair use" of material does not make it so and we may determine you have violated our terms of use and you may be subjected to legal action by a copyright owner.
