No there aren't as youtube allow you to embed their videos.

However if the videos themselves violate someones copyright you should remove them as soon as you know

Would you ignore them if they contacted your host and your forum got deleted? :D

Your friend own a T3 line or something? Colocated? Kiddiehost on their ISP?
Someone somewhere could be contacted who would care, and could disconnect your host.

Dunno but he runs it he owns his own webhosting site he was doing a site www.digitalmediaempire.com that needed like 3tb of bandwith a couple months ago lol, (he hasn't updated that site for heaps long them deals are way out dated) don't even know if thats still the site. and no why would somebody care like i said if somebody hosts a video on youtube then it aint private, it even says that in there rules. you get to pick "private" or "public" and if i can view it then it's public. :)

You said you wouldn't care if someone complained about a video on your site, not a video on youtube. Youtube have their own lawyers, it's completely different.

You didn't specify who the 'there' [sic] was refering to. And as you didn't mention youtube in that post, the obvious answer would be the 'somebody came to my forum complaining', ie the copyright holders.

no... you miss understood you are wrong, stop trying to be a hero. i didnt have to specify as it was all on topic about youtube videos being hosted on somebody elses website..... why the hell would i turn around and say something like

"Yes if that person who hosted a video on youtube came to my site complaining about me having it on my site"

when my reply was straight after his? who would i be talking about somebody in a different forum?

It was common sence as it was all about the same topic, nobody else miss understood it only you.

I'm not a person to care about people posting with bad grammar, but no damn wonder you're arguing on this thread. Both of you posting with such bad grammar, it's all gibberish :/ I can't follow the damn thread because everything is all mixed up.

Okay, okay. I think we're getting off the topic of YouTube here.
