Copyright and Youtube Delemia

Why is it alright to do these on YouTube
Sing a copyrighted song
Dance copyrighted choreography
Dance copyrighted choreography that one made minor changes to without it being plagiarism

But it is not alright to read a book on YouTube.

  1. Hmmm... I don't know. Any thoughts on why? What makes it okay to do one, but not okay to read a book?

  2. Well, to play devil's advocate, it takes way more skill and practice to sing or dance than it does to read a book aloud. I do believe that there are some who are much better at reading aloud and who are able to engage listeners through pacing and intonation, however if books were on YouTube then people wouldn't spend money on the audiobook, ebook, or paperback book. - Kelly
