YouTube video's, infringing on copyright?

Question

I made a fan video of an actor from a collage of pictures I'd saved from various sources. Do I need to post "credits" that state I do not wish to infringe upon the actor, or something of that nature?

I see there's a lot of videos made up of movie clips & stills that people post as a tribute to their favorite star that do NOT state anything regarding copyright laws; what's the right thing to do?

Answer 1

Yes no one cares and most likely it wont get deleted unless youtube becomes more strict and cracks down on it.

However legally you do need permission from the original artist unless it

is royalty free music.

Rule of thumb, if it isnt yours then you dont own rights to upload it.

Answer 2

I don't think anyone actually cares do they? Its not as if your trying to sell it so i wouldn't worry

Answer 3

No. Nobody cares about that.
