Protecting What You Create

I had a problem with a business stealing/copying one of my videos and using it on YouTube as their own.  They did not acknowledge the source of the video and this went well beyond fair use.  I looked the next day and YouTube appears to have pulled their video.

As a business, you need to protect your creations.  This means you will have to put your name and/or logo everywhere.  I use a alphacomputer.ca logo in all my videos, especially now since this happened.  A title slide alone will not do.

So when ever you create something, get your logo on it.  If some one does steal it, at least your logo will be seen and your business promoted, if but in a weird way. 

Have a great Sunday.
