Hmm\u2026. 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.\n\nAnyway, back on-topic\u2026. 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?"}
