I know it is possible to embed YouTube videos into
Articulate course, but, is there copyright or other legal issues with selling
courses which include YouTube video’s?
Absolutely there are legal issues! I'd be very careful before selling anything that contains content that you didn't create or get permission to use. I would suggest taking a look at YouTube's Copyright page.
I was of the same opinion as you and definitely was working onthe side of caution, until I happened on the page you suggest the other day. Ina way it raises more questions than answers.
In that if you wanted to put short YouTube video’s into longcourses and articulate uses the original YouTube player and you are not editingthe content but using it illustrate a larger point is that fair use as mentioned onthe page?
Regardless, I assume it is Ok to link to the video from a courseif the link opens on the YouTube website in another browser tab?
I'll have to some additional research on the topic. The major area of caution should be in regards to selling and profiting from the course (which includes the YouTube content).
