Please Help,Are Hot Links In PC Video Tutors Legal?

[crankit98]

Hello All,

:woot:

Has anyone here used pc repair tutorials and
have had hot links embedded in the tutorial?
I've been brainstorming all the different elements
of what I want to add to our pc repair with videos
tutorials.Hot links sound like a great idea.

I just updated our tutorials with the the most up to date
computer devices.But here is my main question


I've sold a lot of our PC Repair with video tutors
and since they come on dvds and cdroms,I need to
know if I can legally add hot links on the dvds and
cdroms.

Since every home own a computer and want to know
how they can repair them themselves,many of them
have suggested I add this,I'm seeking anyone that
have used tutorials and have seen hot links.


I want to be certain I am legal.I wrote the tutorials,
used a professional video camera to video the repair,
and maintenance procedures.But it would be a shame
to do all this and be illegal with hot links.

Any help and ideas about how to legally add links
would be greatly appreciated.

I'm certainly no legal advisor, and I don't *know* the answer, but I would be very surprised if there was any illegality in what you're doing. I'm sure I've downloaded educational vids before with hotlinks in.

why give them free tutorials when you could make more money by having them come back to you to repair their stuff?

Analagous to: Why have these forums helping people build their own rigs when they could be coming to lots of us for that?

But anyway, follow the link in his sig and you see a huge ORDER link on the left ;)

yeah but 99% of the people who are here have knowledge on what to do with computers. ive found that 99% of the people who need pc repairs dont know squat.

i think theres a saying somewhere that goes "take advantage of those you can" or something like that. also, if no one paid for services like these and everyone just helped everyone out and were the same, i think thats communism if im not mistaken. doesnt really work all that well.

btw i like money.

i guess it would depend on what you are linking too... but like ace said i have absolutly NO idea... maybe you should seek a lawyer

No, that 's NOT Communism... it's more akin to Socialism. I live in an area where Communism is the great skapegoat. I have no love of communism.. it's a wonderful ideal that can never work in the real world, and deprives us of the benefits of a competitive society. But, the great evil that people are thinking of when they cry "communism" is , in reality, totalitarianism.
