Mrchips2301 has lately posted links to where someone has put up videos like The Tom Baker Years and the Dalek and Cybermen Early Years videos. this subject has come up before, sort of, when someone asked whether s/he should put up links to Big Finish audio plays which someone has uploaded. I think we should make a policy not to link to copyrighted material like this.
though actually my concern does not have to do with copyright, though I wouldn't want to piss off the BBC. really, it has to do with it just feeling out-of-place and (aesthetically, not ethically) wrong to put up these links. --Stardizzy2 16:03, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, I also don't think they work very well within the page.
- There is also the copyright element. As it's been uploaded by someone who isn't the copyright holder we can't attribute copyright and all that. The only YouTube content we could really upload is content from the BBC's channel where they are the copyright holder. --Tangerineduel 16:38, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
