If the videos are being embedded from YouTube (as they appear to be), then there are potentially two different concerns here:
1. Whether the video owner is okay with their content being shown on another site. This is already controllable via whether they choose to enable embedding or not, and the YouTube TOS talk about licensing for embeds, so this seems okay. https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms#fb098d3e34 https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms#fb098d3e34
2. Whether the embedding is being done in compliance with the YouTube API Terms of Service. There could be some issues here. https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/api-services-terms-of-service https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/api-services-ter... ; https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/required-minimum-functionality https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/required-minimum... (see "Overlays" section).
- abetusk 6y agoI think this gets at the licensing issues and the "non-commercial" sentiment of that type of usage, whether it's explicitly CC-NC or otherwise. Notice the "Buy me a coffee" link. Is this considered "for profit" now? This person is asking for donations and is effectively monetizing the videos, at least is a very weak sense. And thanks for that 'overlays' link. It's clear these types of sites only exist at the discretion of YouTube. That's unfortunate and all the more reason to try to enrich the commons with more CC0/CC-BY/CC-BY-SA work.
