Is it illegal to upload game trailers downloaded from IGN/Gametrailers into Youtube ??

Question

I downloaded a Crysis trailer from IGN and posted on Youtube but it was rejected due to copyright infringement against Viacom - but I've seen plenty of IGN videos on Youtube. Are they all illegal? Or is this some exceptional case? Wuzzgoinon?

Answer 2
