posting others' videos on youtube

I've posted a dozen or so footbag videos on youtube, none of which belong to me. I always credit the author of the video (if known) in the video description, but I don't know if that's enough. To those of you out there who put out these great videos, does it bother you to see someone else post them on youtube?

I was looking at a footbag video someone posted the other week and noticed the Phil Morrison - Red Rocket video that i made had been posted on YouTube.
One part of me thinks its ok and it means more people will see it and enjoy it and whatever, so thats good.
Another part of me wishes that whoever had posted it had asked for my permission before doing so

Most probably i would have said yes, but its just a common courtesy when you want to do things with someone elses art/production/intellectual property.

We all know youtube has a strict code of having permission of the original creator.

I've seen a couple of my video posted on there too. Ian summed up my thoughts exactly.

True. But I personally don't really care, just a quick "hey can I post this?" would be nice, that's all.

Cool, thanks for the input guys. I'll be sure to ask before I post from here on out.
