Almost every use of their site is illegal. Many of the most popular videos on Youtube and similar video sites are already in violation of copyright laws, but the copyright holder most of the time does not care. But if you then start messing with the integrity of the videos to present them in ways they were not intended to be shown, it further increases the chances the copyright holder will get upset. And, on top of that, as a previous commenter pointed out, it probably violates the terms of use of whatever video site you are getting the videos from, so now you have the legal forces from Youtube/Google to worry about. For example, Steve Ballmer may not mind full video clips of his speeches being posted on Youtube, but he might not like compilation clips like the one on main page of Omnisio, which is specifically designed to to make him look silly. Then, to make it even worse, people write all sorts of derogatory comments on the video in the popup bubbles. I assume video footage like that is copyrighted by Microsoft, and I am sure they don't want to allow things like this. All that being said, Omnisio is a fun site and may never get in trouble, but it seems risky from a business perspective. - Eric I don’t understand how Omnisio can expect to avoid legal problems.
