    Hello everypony, I have a question if y'all don't mind. Today Youtube sent me an e-mail inviting me to monetize my videos as they (and I quote) "noticed that one of my videos is becoming popular on YouTube". Hmm…. so this one video has 1,100 views and is becoming popular? Nah, if my videos were good enough to get 4.4 million views in a year, then I would say my videos were popular. Anyway, back on-topic…. Youtube thus asked me whether I want to monetize my videos, meaning they place adds on the side or something. The thing is, I don't know what to do with this mail. Youtube clearly states that videos are not eligible for monetizing when you don't have the copyright, and well, like with most PMVs, I didn't ask anypony for permission to use the images and the song. So, I think I better decline the invitation to monetizing. Yet, if I decline the invitation, what will happen? Will that not be perceived as admission of me legally breaking copyright rules?

      @yorkiebrony I don't think so... But then again YouTube is crazy.

      @thatonepony Perhaps I am blowing it out of proportion, but well..... looking at the antics of something like youtube and the hell and doom you can find in the small-print I thought it was worth to toss up the question here.
