Universal Studios say dont do it Anton

I've heard back from the licensing department at Universal Studios and in no uncertain terms, they say stop.

Follows is the email I sent and their reply. It does seem odd that they don't have a signature on their email or directions on how to do it legally.

For your own legal safety, you shouldn't embark on this with Universal or any other film studio.

Hello,



I have recently set up what can be termed an “online” tv station.

www.worldtv.com/movietrailers

The system plays movie trailers for upcoming blockbusters. Many of them are from Universal.

The majority of the trailers I have found on youtube.

With regards to Universals policies, is what I am doing permitted?

If it is not permitted, what do I need to do to get permission? Please note, this is not a large commercial venture, it is simply a hobby website.
