A quick Google search gives plenty of answers if you use the term "upload" instead of "download".

Yes, there are copyright infringement issues, and the file will get pulled if someone complains.

What would you need a scanner for?

Dont I need to post a picture with sound upload?

How come nobody complains with some of the 12" versions?

Only video files can be uploaded.

The uploads are done in MPEG, AVI or WMV video format.

Some people decide to take a shot of their turntable playing the record, some other put a still picture but in all cases, the file is in video format.

you need a video editing software to produce such a result.

I think that piracy of audio/video material has reached an unprecedented level of anarchy. The authorities just can't catch up on the number of posts.

As they pull one post out, another one is re-uploaded not long after.

Youtube (amongst others video/audio hosting services) builds on that chaos right now.

Youtube will remove clips if the copyright owner complains. Since the sound quality of youtube is terrible (heavy data compression and always mono) perhaps some copyright owners don't bother.

I recently listened to "Midnight Love Affair" on You Tube and whomever posted it was showing pictures of the album cover while the song played. Is THAT considered a "video file"?

It has to be a video file.

Youtube will allow you to upload an audio file but you get the following message:

Failed (invalid file format)

What you describe can be produced in two ways:

- on-the-fly using a camera and a still picture

or

- can be post-produced using a video editing software which allows to tag one ore more jpeg images for the duration of the video scene (similar to what can be done with a Powerpoint presentation).

Thanks to a video friend who talked me into buying a YOUTUBE Casio digital cameras, complete with USB attachment, Ive FINALLY MADE MY FIRST YOUTUBE MUSIC VIDEO POSTING! As you can see by the video, Im also a Superman fan, as well as disco, so I combined the two together. For the music song selection I used a recording of DAYLIGHT which was the instrumental version originally released by The New Ventures back in 1976, just before Vickie Sue Robinson decided to add her vocals to her own version. ENJOY!
