  Hello Everyone,
  I have made a website listing songs I will play as a DJ. In case people don’t know the songs, I added video widgets with URLs to show Youtube clips. I thought, if these clips are so freely available on youtube, it should be OK for me to add the link to play the clips via youtube. It nmakes my website so much better! I don’t own the clips, nor did I upload or host them. All I am doing is pointing to a clip on a different website – Youtube.
  Is this legal? Or am I breaking the law? Shall I remove the URL links?
  Thanks, Justin

  I think I am allowed – here is a webpage from Youtube:

  Has anyone else done this?
