(I can't find a better place to post this on the forums, and I can't find an email link to just ask Bungie.)
Okay, this is how it goes: YouTube says I may qualify to have ads posted on my videos, potentially earning me a little bit of revenue when people view my videos. (The requirements for that must be pretty low, because I sure don't get many views.)
As I look through my videos to see what might qualify, the only videos I have that ever get viewed are ones using Halo footage. Videos of me playing Halo 2, mostly.
I've been asking YouTube about if that qualifies as copyrighted or not, and I don't have any clear answer. So I figured I might as well ask Bungie for official permission.
Now I would assume/hope that people like Bungie would simply issue a standing declaration that anyone can use gameplay footage/stills from their games and collect advertising revenue as long as they don't charge for content, or as long as blah blah blah or whatever. I just think most major companies would do this, but especially Bungie with the way that they provide tools for letting people create videos of their games.
But I want to see something official; I'd like to see something "in writing" rather than just assuming that there is no problem with it.
