Points made. Thanks for the clear answer. Since I've never uploaded other people's work before it's hard to predict what will happen. And of course, you don't want the video you've worked for so hard get taken down, or even worse get your channel taken down because you've got too many copyright strikes in a short period of time. I'm currently in research mode but definitely already preparing the first video. Doing the research etc. It's a long way to go as I also definitely need to up my editing skills, but I've set the goal that my first video is uploaded before the first of July.It's always a concern, of course.
YouTube breaks the "C" part of the CENTS framework. But from what I've seen: it's not as grave a concern as you may think it's made out to be.
Many YouTubers have overexaggerated the state of demonisation for sympathy points, and more views (not all, but this is quite common) .
It's true that a "fake guru" ro someone else can come in and try to take down my video...
But I can just as easily dispute that claim, and I'm sure that I'll win out. If not: I make a small video about guru's trying to silence me, and the streisand effect works in my favour.
I often think that the whole fear of being demonetized or copyright striked just prevents people from starting. As long as you make sure you are abiding by the licenses of the music you are using in your video, as long as you are using clips under fair use, you should be fine for the most part.
As for finding the movie footage... yeah, it can sometimes be a grueling process. Sometimes I might have a scene in mind and can search for a HD clip of that scene on YouTube and download it from there. Sometimes I just might not have a clip and will have to scour through different movies in order to get something I'm looking for.
