flash vids (from youtube, google, etc.)

[ExcuseMeFrench]

is it possible to add the feature where you can post flash videos on threads?
when there are links on the page, i just never feel like clicking them...
i'd rather have them be on the thread so i can decide if i want to watch or no...

surely it'd be useful for others, no?

It's a bit gimmicky TBH and I doubt the owner of the board would allow it, especially with possible copyright problems.

Eric, you can't use HTML here (Eric tried it and deleted the post).

Would that use up the cafs bandwidth or youtubes? I hate youtube threads pointless rubbish.

 

[Small Paul]

It would be handier if they were in the thread, but I can see where the copyright problems may come in alright.

But would the Cafe be the ones getting in trouble or Youtube?

Who was ultimately prosecuted if it went that far is largely irrelevant, Niall just doesn't want to be arsed with the threatening letters from the Premier League's lawyers. We get enough of them as it is which is why we have come down a bit harder on people posting links to torrents and the likes.

TBH it's so bleeding easy finding our goals and clips on YouTube etc I can't see why people would need them posting in here anyway.

This is interesting. Why do we get them? I mean what do these kind of letters contain.

Yeah but why are the Premier League's lawyers complaining. I thought the FA sold their rights to TV-companies. It should be them complaining.

He's probably just generalising. They just don't want anything on here that might get them in trouble with the law, innit?

I did try posting the HTML from youtube. It doesn't work, as I shall now demonstrate:

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vfQ31eZFkas"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vfQ31eZFkas" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

Not generalising. No.

The PL's complaints are quite specific.
