Comment on The story of my startup (and the Google/YouTube API trap)

Comments

YouTube has a big problem of third-party sites that blindly index their content for the sole purpose of selling ads on traffic derived from organic search results. From personal experience in working with google legal, I can tell you that the timing is likely coincidental. Regardless, they include such verbage for leverage in protecting brand identity and trademark. I suggest two things before jumping to conclusions: 1. Consult a lawyer, and 2. Work with your contacts at YouTube to get the right person to review your situation.

Good luck, and as a father-to-be I hope everything works out.
