Hmm, broadly I agree with the dont copy thing.

BUT, much innovative work can be done with 'found' video. I think of it as similar to sampling in the music biz.

I have made lots of vids with stuff i knicked. But i really think you should credit your sources ALWAYS. If really is wrong to let people think video in a piece is shot by you if it wasnt.

That means you should always leave watermarks IN.
