Answer 2

u better put:

"no copyright infringement"

ur gonna have 2 make it into parts because the maximum limit is 10 minutes

also, u can get banned because that's the reason why they didn't want ppl to upload movies

Answer 3

You won't get sued!!!  If they have a problem with the copyright thing on it, they will simply just delete the movie and youtube will send you an e-mail informing you of what happened. They just delete the movie, thats all.

But don't worry...they won't sue you!

x*x

Answer 4

You can, depending upon the contents of the movie, copy-righted or not. If you show other people in the movie and do not have their permission, then yes, you CAN be sued.

Answer 5

if it isn't copyright protected then no but you better make sure

Answer 6

Well if its a Copyrighted movie or under license they might close your Youtube account or Remove the Movie but they rarely sue.

Answer 7

No you can't, cuz i see all these movies on youtube like part 1, 2 and so on.

Answer 8

You should make sure about that before uploading

any movie. A production company won't sue you

right off the bat. YouTube would send you a

warning first.

If you don't comply then they yank the movie and

suspend your account to cover their butts.

I got lucky recently when a Youtube partner claimed

ownership of one of my videos that was given to me

by a friend before YouTube launched in 2005.

They said I could keep it on my channel providing

the partner may do some advertising on it. That

was close.

Better yet, contact YouTube just to be on the safe side.
