IMO, that's the best part about CC. Like Andreas says: "Ignorance is not a defense". If you know enough to aggregate someone's videos, you should know that there are rules and regulations to what you're doing. You should also know that it's pretty common practice for people who care about these things to put some kind of license notice A) on their site, B) in the feed or C) on a card in their actual video that you're streaming and putting ads on and in front of. If it comes down to brass tacks, they can't say "Well... I went to the web site and looked and it didn't say anything about copyright, so I assumed I could use it". They can't say "Well... I watched the whole video and couldn't figure out whom to attribute creation credit to or whether they allowed people to make money with their video without talking to them first. If they complain to a judge that they were bitten several hundred times by your dog after they came into your front yard, uninvited... you just inform the judge that there was a "beware of dog" sign on the fence they hopped over. :D -- Bill C. http://ReelSolid.TV
