I've been noodling this one for a bit now, and have some questions maybe some of you can answer (especially you bigger vloggers)...
I watch a lot of YouTube and I see channels like Yammie Noob or Doug Demuro using marketing photos of cars and bikes in their videos.
Do you have to have the manufacturer's permission to use those marketing photos in videos? I use Pexels for some of my stock photos and Freesound.org for sound bites, and of course YouTube's copyright-free background music, but I have some video ideas that would just be better if I could throw up some Harley and other bike brand photos, overlaying them over my own footage (and possibly cropping them to fit better with on-scene material).
So far I've only used photos that I, myself, have taken, to avoid ANY copyright infringements. But you know the Yammie Noob and Doug Demuro channels are monetized, so how do they do it?
Thanks in advance!
