No, it wouldn't be legal to place a video of an artist on YouTube without their permission. Frequently you will see videos posted that don't have that permission, and you get an error message that tells you the video is not available because it has been challenged as a copyright violation. They have a place on their site with instructions about how to report copyright infringements--basically sending written notification with details which could be sent in an email.

There was a recent discussion on Twitter about the legality of downloading YouTube videos to your computer. Basically, if you follow the licensing agreement on YouTube, it's probably not "legal."

Is it legal for the original poster to place a video of an artist on YouTube? Seems to me that would be a copyright violation.
