Thread opened , only for discussion related to A&V monetizing licenses

[Minoza]

So, if I got this right, if we want to upload some gameplay for example from mentioned games to YT, we need BIS approval? What happens with already uploaded stuff?

[Dwarden]

this is related only to situation(s) where You making profit, hence the monetization word in subject ...

if You already do that then i wonder how You could obtain Google's approval w/o our approval
in that case i suggest double fast to sign and send ...

This is the legal mumbo-jumbo for making money off of the videos.

You can still upload ArmA vids without a license, as long as you don't make money off of it.

Edit:
Damn, ninjaed.

As far as I understand it, this is about giving video authors permissions to get money from Google for the ads they server over your videos of the games listed above. Non profit videos are not affected.

Edit:
Double ninja'd.

[Minoza]

Oh ok then, thx for replies, I understand now. And no, I'm not making any money from the uploaded vids.

[paecmaker]

So this wont affect me if I dont make any money( or trying to) from youtube videos containing BIS material.
