I had a website with interesting commercials and Video ads posted.
I was assuming companies would like a free ride and would not mind if we were to post Ads and Commercials on our site with out their permission. After reading some tips/hints on this forum I was a bit paranoid and removed all pages.At the end of the commercial, the product or company is obviously advertised because thats the whole purpose of the commercial therefore credit is already being given to the owner. Would it cause a problem to add mydomain.com on this video and host it on my website?
Please let me know as much as possible because it hurts after spending so much time, I must remove all content.
How would it be possible to contact all these companies and ask for their permission? (probably 80% of them wont even reply to my email, i.e. Pepsi, and other huge companies wont bother writing back)
What would you suggest?
I am talking about popular Commercials posted everywhere on the web (i.e. Google video, YouTube and...)
