hi,

 

i have read the house rules but cant quite work it out.

 

are we allowed to post links to songs on youtube? is it a blanket 'no', or are there exceptions? 

 

for example, i wanted to post a link to songs which were uploaded by the artist themselves, and of music which is given away for free anyway, so no copyright issue...

 

i have seen links removed before as they link to a site containing profanity... is this due to the language in the song, the comments made on the video, or just because it's youtube its self which can contain foul language in the comments?

 

sorry to discuss any moderation ect, but i just wanted to clarify the position.

 

thank you
