It's not as if you are intenet on making loads of dosh from uploading the clips is it? I don't make a single penny from them. They are there purely for entertainment purposes only! I have heard on the news that since YouTube was bought out that they are going to pay for clips in future, don't know if it's true |

The BBC has struck a content deal with YouTube, the web's most popular video sharing website, owned by Google.
Three YouTube channels - one for news and two for entertainment - will showcase short clips of BBC content.
The BBC hopes that the deal will help it reach YouTube's monthly audience of more than 70 million users and drive extra traffic to its own website.
The corporation will also get a share of the advertising revenue generated by traffic to the new YouTube channels.
Three deals in one
The deal with Google - non-exclusive and set to run for several years - will establish three different YouTube services:
* BBC: One of the BBC's two entertainment channels will be a "public service" proposition, featuring no advertising.
It will show clips like trailers and short features that add value - for example, video diaries of David Tennant showing viewers around the set of Dr Who or BBC correspondent Clive Myrie explaining how difficult it is to report from the streets of Baghdad.
The channel's main purpose is to popularise current programming and drive traffic back to the BBC's own website, and point the audience to the BBC's pages, where they can watch or download programmes in full, once the BBC Trust approves the corporation's catch-up television proposal, called iPlayer.

* BBC Worldwide: The second entertainment channel will feature self-contained clips - about three to six minutes long - mining popular programmes in the BBC's archive. Excerpts from Top Gear, The Mighty Boosh and nature programmes presented by David Attenborough are top candidates for this channel.
This YouTube page will carry advertising such as banner adverts, and possibly pre-roll adverts (shown as part of the video clip) as well. Controversially, the BBC Worldwide page - adverts and all - can be seen in the UK.
BBC Worldwide insists that this is not a new departure, as BBC magazines like Top Gear and channels like BBC World and UK Living (which shows mainly BBC content) already do carry advertising.
* BBC News: The news channel, which will be launched later this year, will show about 30 news clips per day. It will be advertising funded like a similar deal with Yahoo USA. BBC News is also offered to non-UK subscribers of Real Networks.
Because of the advertising, these clips can be seen outside the UK only. Any UK users clicking on a link to one of the news clips on YouTube will get a message that they have no access to this clip.

It doesn't say I'm gonna make money from any of my clips though!
Mind you, I'd have to delete most of mine just in case I got sued (especially by the likes of George Lucas!)
