I'm building a website which will feature a video background. My plan was to upload a video to YouTube (unlisted) and embed this into the webpage. The footage was purchased legally through Shutterstock, however my fear is that if someone were to check the HTML and access the YouTube video, they could download this footage. This may breach the Shutterstock terms of "making footage easily available to third parties"

I would host the video on my own server, however I have read horror stories of bandwidth consumption with video backgrounds and the client has expressed a strong desire to keep hosting costs low.

Does anyone have any experience on the topic? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

All the best

  • This seems to be a chatty open-ended question and thus [off-topic](http://stackoverflow.com/help/dont-ask). – Quentin Mar 14 '17 at 09:53
  • But honestly, if you are concerned that something might breach the terms of your Shutterstock contract, then talk to Shutterstock about it. – Quentin Mar 14 '17 at 09:54
  • Thanks @Quentin, I have contacted support and will update this post once they reply. – DDiran Mar 14 '17 at 10:06

I think you are safe:

Where can I use Shutterstock Footage film clips?

You may use the video clips in television advertisements, educational videos, web sites, multimedia presentations, broadcasting video, and for many other uses. See our Licensing Terms for more details.
