I uploaded a clip from Top Gear to youtube so I can show my friends. After a while the video was removed because it was BBC material. Ok, no big deal...

Does anyone know a way I can share videos on a forum and not have to worry about this again?

I cut the clip down to 11mb and tried uploading it as an attachment to my MyBB forum I created and it wouldn't work. I don't mind using the storage on my forum for videos.

Any help would be appreciated.
Upload to your FTP, give direct link for download?

Or... install a video sharing program?
That, or just link to the original video that the BBC uploaded themselves with their youtube account?
What kind of video sharing program are you referring to? a Mybb plugin?

Thanks for the tips guys.
There are few, and most hosts don't like them, unless you have a very regulated server (unlikely these days) or a VPS. Your best bet is to add the "fair use" text. " "Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use." "

This might help.

Thanks for the info guys. Im going to see which one works out better for me.
1. Install "clip-bucket" http://clip-bucket.com/
2. Link to videos in your forum
3. You now have a video sharing site...

*much more organized to use a specific script instead of just uploading directly to your web server*
