Editing RLMWiki:Standards (section)

== Copyright ==

[[wikipedia:IANAL|IANAL]]. I have no experience dealing with copyright law and have absolutely no idea how to write legally binding text for a wiki. However, almost all of the content on RLMWiki, from screencaps to quotes to ideas, are copyright material of Red Letter Media. Additionally, a large majority of that content is licensed under the YouTube Standard License, which includes some prohibitions about what parts of the video may be distributed outside of their website, which may include screencaps and thumbnails - something our Wiki is designed to catalog.

I'm pretty sure this falls under fair use, and even if it didn't YouTube has nothing to gain by initiating legal proceedings against us since we're a nonprofit fan project, but... you know, technically if they did that they'd probably be in the right. Something to keep in mind.

So if you upload a file and notice the only copyright option is "No license"? That's my fault. I don't know what to write so I'm just leaving it blank and we can build that ark when the flood shows up.
