Videos with watermarks

[Jennysathome]

I know the rules forbid the posting of videos with watermarks.

Does this include videos recorded from TV showing the channel logos? Examples I have that I could post have the Channel 5 logo, Granada Men & Motors, German channel logos etc. Can I post anything with these shown?

From my understanding, those are okay, but in my mind should not be because network logos are there for copyright reasons. When this situation arose a while ago with someone else, I was told by a longer tenured mod that this was the way we always did it so we let it slide.

Another exception to our rules that adds to the confusion around here.

So go and post them. If we get sued, we'll take them down.
