Concern, help!?
Question by –: Concern, help!?
A few days ago, I posted a link of a music video/tribute of an actress on Youtube onto a fan forum. A user on the forum said in a reply: I wish I knew how to make these. And you guys know what I did? I was so stupid: I replied to him and said: “Making these things are so easy. Just go to Start – All Programs – Accessories – Windows Movie Maker. I’m looking forward to your first [actress’s name] fan video.” And now guess what? He is making those videos so often – like every 2 or 3 days. Now here is my concern: these videos use copyrighted songs and pictures. I’m afraid that if he gets into trouble, I’m afraid that he will give a link to the post I made on the fan forum and say: this guy told me how to make these. I know I’m getting a little paranoid, but please tell me whether or not I will get into trouble because of someone else. And that’s not all, that user is getting more and more into making these things, I’m afraid he will use clips of movies later on in these music videos.

Just because you provided the info for this person to proceed would not place any liability on you for their actions, something that is readily available to the public is permissible to share with some one else, the only way you could be implicated in anything illegal is if you used coercion to cause the person to do it, Relax you made have started someone on a lucrative career.~
