I know, I know, I know. And I'm not accusing anyone here doing so. From the time the rule was made, I think it was a reaction on the EU voting on copyright laws. Back in the day it did concern me and I did read a lot of stuff on it.

Spamming videos would be "spamming", so no arguing about that, that this one is covered by the spamming rule.

The EU Copyright Votum was all about monetizing. So if a) creates content b) is just under strict reglemantion allowed to use it. the creator should not be stripped from copyright his content by facebook, youtube, etc so easily.

So every changing or monetizing that content, without the permisson of copyright holding party can be sanctioned more easily. the obligation to check for copyright issues is soon to be done by hosting parties (uploadfilter). if a file is embeded, the source is accessable and via embedding is no change to the original content (no extra adds, etc), the obligation to check for copyrightissues lies still in the hands of the hosting party (youtube, etc). so if you not state you created the content or are trying to monetize it and are just providing access to the monetizing party (youtube still get's it view counts, even tho the video is embedded), the embedding party can't ne issued with copyrightviolations.

that's why I wonder that rule exists at all. not to point the finger on you guys! you know, that I think that you're doing a great job
