This seems pretty common in British newspapers, even outside facebook. Videos often appear on newspaper's own sites instead of embedding the YouTube video. For example this from the Guardian (http://www.theguardian.com/politics/video/2015/apr/29/ed-miliband-russell-brand-video-highlights http://www.theguardian.com/politics/video/2015/apr/29/ed-mil...). Others are similar and often even have their own pre-rolls.
Channel4 has whole TV programme, Rude Tube (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rude_Tube https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rude_Tube), devoted to internet clips, which are all from YouTube AFAIK. I wonder if the creators get any money from that.
- jonah 11y agoYeah, a friend had his video taken by a British paper, stripped of its credits, embedded in an article and then uploaded to their YouTube channel. He sent them an invoice for usage but I haven't heard what the outcome was.
- maaaats 11y agoFYI: When a video goes "viral", one is quickly contacted by agencies(happened to me). They have standard deals with big media corporations, and handles the licensing. It frees the creator from having to make deals with hundreds of news papers. So, at least some of the big pages that use other's videos have paid to do so.
- bazzargh 11y agoFor that example, there's no question it was licensed. Russell Brand writes for the Guardian. http://www.theguardian.com/profile/russellbrand http://www.theguardian.com/profile/russellbrand
