Rules re posting fraps grabs

[E Hood]

A couple of days ago I began to learn how to produce videos made from fraps extractions. I'm tempted to post a couple of wmv snippets on facebook, so that friends and family can see how I like to waste - er - utilize my limited free time. The number of fraps/Il-2 extracts on Youtube notwithstanding, as an author myself, and a great admirer of Oleg and his crew, I am naturally very concerned about the possibility of copyright violations. Is anyone out there familiar with the specific rules in this regard? Is it possible to contact Mr. M via this forum?

There is no issue with it, so post away. Fraps footage maybe done on a game that has copyright but there is not a copyright on video footage of the game held by the games publisher (applies to most games) so they copyright of any video is technically the video producers...

No problem at all, there are several of us here who post fraps game play here....

Odd. I did post a reply last night, but it seems to have vanished.

Any road, many thanks for the advice. I have attempted to view some of the clips posted at this forum, but some of the later videos won't download completely. This is disappointing; I'm especially interested in the re-enactments.

Once again,

eh
