…and some of my “cheeky” strategies for avoiding copyright.

After a long six days (three more than I expected) working on my new YouTube video, I finally uploaded a new video today.

It’s my third video on my Get Good At Badminton YouTube channel, and despite what I said about only making videos on myself, I produced a video that was basically a compilation of other videos put together.

I was using the videos other people made to make my own videos and grow my channel.

Sounds like plagiarism doesn’t it?

But stick with me.

I will never blatantly copy or take someone else’s video as a whole and reupload it.

But I will and did, however, take bits and pieces of multiple videos, put them together like a scrapbook, and add my own little twist on it.

There are many people that do this and have success with it.

Almost all niches have a group of people that make montages, highlights, and compilations by cutting and pasting various clips from various videos.

Here are my two examples of montage/highlight/compilation videos.
