We're finally doing it - putting some vids on YouTube

[maidavids.livejournal.com]

Paul has been finally convinced that the new YouTube policies that give ad money to copyright holders makes it safe enough to finally try putting some videos up.  We just got the channel up and are still rank innocents in all this.  Don't know if we're screwing anything up, and all suggestions greatly recommended.

Some vids can't go up, like Don Henley's "Boys of Summer," but I'm grateful that some seem to be acceptable to them.

So please make suggestions, give advice and encouragement, and recommend videos that HAVE to be up there.

Just a thought, but I think a lot of people use Vimeo as a backup in case Youtube mutes the audio or takes down their videos entirely. As it's a site more geared towards video producers than Youtube is, they seem to be more lenient in what's allowed, and as the above poster says, it will also allow you to password protect your videos. So that might be something for you to consider. Or, you could put your videos up as unlisted on Youtube, so that only people with the direct link are able to view it and it's not searchable. I've done that with a few embarrassing videos I've made for class projects in school.
