This is an amazing article btw, stunningly well put together explanation of how to avoid copyright issues whilst using this platform, but also helping the original creators get the credit they deserve. However I must be a dingus, I am a video art creator, and also make music; so heres my example.
I created the music entirely by myself HOWEVER the music video I cut up and re edited to fit the narrative of my song would this be considered copyright issues? I uploaded the video to youtube and did not get a copyright strike (even after months of being there) and for additional information, I am currently at an Art Foundation course at the UK that is covered by an educational clause in copyright law that allows me certain leeway when its comes to using other artists work if it is for educational purposes and a factor of my FMP (which it was)
TLDR; your input would be massively helpful as I want to promote and get a following on this platform but want to do it strictly by the book
MANY MANY THANKS BIG LOVE FROM THE UK <3
Hey @blockchainyouth, thank you! Glad that this blog post was educational for you! About your question: If the work of the video is free to use, for commercial purposes you're good to go. If you have purchased a license to use this work for commercial use, you're good to go. If you have ripped the video from the creator (or any other uploader), modified it, and have placed your own (copyrighted) audio channel underneath it, you're plagiarizing -if- you publish the work for commercial use. You're stating that the contents of the video can/may be used only for educational purposes, therefor it should not be published on Steemit, since anything we publish here is automatically seen as commercial use. Your best bet to publish this on Steemit would be using work that can be used for commercial use.

AGHHH YES VERY TRUE I FORGOT THATS WHAT FORM TUTOR SAID, that I could have even have it on a giant projector in St.Pancreas but if it is used to generate revenue as you said......Okay so my best bet, is to publish song, with accompanying visuals that I have created and not use the original playboi carti video; and see thats the thing, its not hard to create these visuals yourself and enjoy the knowledge it is 100% I think that human laziness and a lack of motivation come into play here so no thank you for your insight I am determined to do this properly.
Yes, exactly! If you need some tips on how to create motion graphics I think VideoCopilot did some cool tutorials. But I believe you know how to create that already.
I replied to @blockchainyouth in regards to same but want to point out to you that there is a "decline payout" option you can use while posting to Steem blockchain - this would be appropriate for non-commercial/educational usage rights
Hey just want to build on @xposed's comment - you can actually publish a post here on Steem blockchain using the "decline payout" option - this would cover you as far as the commercial intent, so if you want to publish your educational posting here you can do that with decline payout if there is a question of usage rights being allowed for non-commercial/educational use.
