Uploading permission on YouTube

How do you get permission from the producers Battlefield 3 to upload gameplay on youtube and monetize them? Who should I go to or ask?

    Hi :womanhappy:

    You can upload your gameplay directly as far as i know, at least i do :womanhappy: . Unless there is something involved against the law or shameless things and all..

    Here's the email I got back when I asked

    Greetings:

    This is in response to your request dated February 28, 2013.  Unfortunately, EA is not able to provide a blanket permission to use our copyrighted game footage. We have previously advised YouTube that EA generally does not object to fair uses of video footage or screen shots from publicly released versions of our copyrighted games, including on YouTube channels which are commercialized, but that we reserve rights to address inappropriate use of our copyrighted content.  We will continue to advise YouTube directly of that position.

    Thank you,

    In other words, the answer is, Yes*.     *=unless they find it inapropriate.

    There exist hack videos, trolling videos with BF3/EA's content. Yet they don't take them down. But I do know they take down alpha/beta footage when the alpha/beta isn't over. So gameplay such as yours listed, including the fact they're monetized/comercialized, I'm certain you won't have a problem. As long as you don't upload alpha/beta footage, I don't see them filing a DMCA against your videos.

    So that means that I have permission to upload videos of Battlefield 3?

    It is just some of my videos, not all of them. It is weird :S

    No. They don't want to give blanket permission. As in they don't want to tell anyone person they have complete unrestricted access to upload any BF3 content they want. Doing this would cause problems if one of the persons they gave permission to then used their content in a way they deemed "inappropriate".

    But thousands of channels upload BF3 gameplay as you do. EA isn't going to take that down. Your fine.
