No copyright infringement intended





Youtube - does adding "no copyright infringement intended" in the description help not to have videos removed?

Avoid irrelevant phrases such as: "no copyright infringement intended", "I do not own the music" or "I don't take credit for this video". Not only does YouTube look out for "buzz words" and sentences like those, you are publicly avowing that you have knowingly taken, used, copied or perhaps even "stolen" an artist's or company's copyrighted material. You would be in effect "incriminating" yourself. Not just that, if you're silly enough to write a lie such as "No copyright infringement intended", you're in fact contradicting yourself, because your video itself PROVES that you HAVE claimed it as your own, and that you HAVE used somebody else's content for your own purposes. In other words, the vid itself PROVES the intention to "infringe copyright", because the video did not just create itself (or upload itself) magically out of thin air; you knowingly and physically made it happen.
