Guild Wars 2

Yeah I sent Aidan a PM. May send an email out.
I’m really out to prove a point hahaha ;D

I’d say that’s about right. Most videos that have advertisements on them and such. It’s not directly selling a video or anything. So music videos and game guides don’t belong to a YouTube user or game player. Still Anet’s content.

It’s great that I’m not the only one who sees it this way. I really want an official response as well xD.

Thank you!
Let’s talk about people who write game guides too. Apparently ‘WoodenPotatoes’ makes money off of his videos. It’s possible because he writes up guides but the content is not his. YouTube also offers a service of making some cash based on hits and stuff I think on your vids but I don’t think it’s much of a profit.

So even people who write game guides I believe are not exempt from the content terms of use.

Hoping a game dev or mod comes along to clear this up soon

Oh yeah we’ve been over that already. He’s still convinced though that the content is his via YouTube license.

Anet allows us to use the content for fun, private not for profit use,

A friend of mine seems to think that because he created a music video off of filming in game content and posted it on YouTube that he owns that content and could potentially make money off of it if it was good enough.

I don’t think this is true and I feel this misconception needs to be clarified.
He’s merely an editor of content not his.

So Anet, if people make music videos out of filming in game content then who owns it?
I’m willing to bet it’s you.
