Using official game trailers in monetized yt videos?


(kAndyREW) #1

Hey guys,

kAndyREW here, and I’m trying to put together a nice “top 5 reasons why you should play Dirty Bomb” type video to help bring in more players!

For the beginning part I want to use some of the official trailer footage, but I’m unsure what SD’s policy is regarding using it in monetized videos.

Could someone who knows please let me know? Last thing I want is an unintentional copyright strike.

Thanks!

Just to make it clear I absolutely don’t speak on behalf of anyone other than myself, but in the past they’ve always been pretty cool about this sort of stuff.

To me there is a difference between claiming to have produced a piece of content and using a few seconds of someone elses content to show how awesome it is, or to talk over it to introduce the game or something. There are plenty of other YouTubers that have done similar things and the devs have praised their videos and asked for them to keep producing more.

So I hope you get the official thumbs up.
