Cheerios4u98 Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 That popped up in my YouTube recommended videos earlier today. I watched part of it before I had to go somewhere, and I thought it was well-written. So, take that as a compliment at least, @boxelder! That is stupid though. I've seen people do the same thing with with Star Wars videos, were they're word-for-read just reading Wookieepedia articles. So lame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxelder Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 @daveyjones, know i'm still bitching, but i thought i should share. all of this point is rendered moot by the fact that wikipedia is free to use. but my gf showed me a site analyzing copyright law and it states: Quote An author’s original compilation, arrangement, or selection of facts may be the subject of copyright, but not the facts themselves. i guess what was incredibly frustrating to me is that for his video, he chronologically scrolls down my article, rarely changing words. in the wiki articles, i want to make a narrative of sorts that's compelling from the sources i collect.
