I need post a clip I ripped from a DVD I own online. You Tube is somehow recognizing that it is Fox's material and has banned the movie from being shown. I plan to take the video down within the week, and limit it only to a handful of people watching it. So rather than show it in class, the teacher has opted for it to be posted. What other video sites are available for use that have that instant play feature? So no downloads/complicated methods to view

technically, posting it at all is illegal

just convert it with super and use jw player on your own site

For people who want to do it as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QO-Y6buBGUk

You tube blocked it, then unblocked it instantly after it was disputed. I guess they do that to curb most people who don't know enough about it.


It is 100% legal according to:

You can always make it a private video on youtube. I have several concert videos like that, that otherwise would have been pulled down. Just wanted to share them with a couple of coworkers.

^how do you make it private? I saw that option but it limited it to 25 views...
