i am wondering if tripod allows music videos on sites. i have a green day video that i got off of some one web page. i compressed it so it doesnt takt to long to load.
the reason i am asking this is because of copyright and i heared that some sites are getting shut down for having music.
well if the question is do they SUPPORT movie files then i think it is yes. do they let you have copyrighted things? well i think that if you 1. ask perssion from Green Dayâs label
2. give them credit
then you should be fine.
Alex, one word of advice, whatever you do, make sure you have a back up or copy of your site on your computer so if anything happens, youâll still have a copy of your site.
Well keep in mind that tripod has very limited bandwidth. Having people download full video files from your site will use up that bandwidth.
I believe if you reach your limit, your site gets a time out for about 24 hours or something. In that time, every viewer will just get a message saying the page reached its bandwidth limit and cannot be viewed.
I have some friends who had some some small vidâs up and Geocities just deleted their sites and sent them an email saying âcopyright infringmentâ or something like that.
They lost their accounts too. I think they have a Zero tollerence thing goingâŚ
Alex, why are you playing a video off your site? Youâre using Angelfire, donât they have a limit on bandwidth? If so, youâll kill your bandwidth quickly if you stream a video off your site. Just something to keep in mind.
Alex⌠the video may play in Win Media Player, but you are distributing it. Distributing copywrite material that you are not licensed to distribute is illegal.
And if it plays in Win Media Player, it only has to download once, then your system reads it from your cache. It will get used up quick if multiple viewers watch it.
