I don't know if they would, but since they have their own youtube I would be leery, also depends on the video that you posted.
As for suing a commercial? I've not heard about that, but quite possible as Lisa has not been happy w/a couple of them that have been released.

And actually, you know what, let me clarify, if they did not want your video up, you would be contacted by one of their atty's. requesting you remove the content in question, they would give you so many days in which to do this and they would ask for proof of compliance. If you complied that would be the end of it, so don't let that comment scare you.

Also w/you being in England, due to the ruling in the case of elvislyyours I don't know what EPE's legal standing in England is?????? I also dont' know enough about youtube to know if there is a seperat sign up for those outside the U.S.?

Your welcome.

That's beautiful and well done!

I don't think you'll have an issue w/this, perhaps if it were actual Elvis footage or Elvis song, voice, perhaps, but I don't see you getting in trouble for this. People have posted far worse copyright infringement material on the Presley's and nothing done to them, so I wouldn't worry.

I would though be leery and just keep in mind that the artist of the song may have an issue, but again, they wouldn't just sue you, they would first request you take it down.

And again the laws may be quite different in England then they are here.

Don't let what that person wrote scare you.

Your very welcome.

I've not had such comment left on mine and you are correct a lot of fans post tributes like this, and as far as I can tell, other then the song, you've not infringed on anything.

[Suzan]

Let me clarify, depending on the copyright status of that song, that to may not even be infringement.

I'm not sure, but I don't think you can get sued using Youtube: if EPE would want you to remove one of your video, they would ask Youtube to do it...and do you really think they have the time to watch all the Elvis videos?
Btw, I liked this video!

[elvislady]

Thanks for your repy rover.

beautiful video - very sad. I think Lisa would love it. I don't think they can touch your video - look at the thousands of others on there compiled of Elvis photo's - that are on the internet everywhere - and Elvis songs - etc. So someone is just giving you a hard time. As for them suing over a commercial - I bet it's that Viva Viagra one they are talking about and even Lisa herself said they have no control over that song - so they can't sue over it....but that's the only commercial that I've heard EPE have a problem with.....

Kudos! Well said once again.

The other commercial was the Keebler elves one was dressed as Elvis...Lisa was angry w/that one as well, but again didn't own the song, but they may have been able to do something about the image?

But anyway, it is a beautiful video, touching, very much so...and I truly don't think anyone would hassle you over it...and again like ksimme said and I tried to say, lots and lots of Elvis stuff out there.

Keep up the fantastic job!

Beautiful video, sent me to the tissue box, there are a lot of versions of this Luther Vandross song, being Elvis related in the video, this is my favourite version.

[Suzan]

Your very welcome elvislady! It needed saying, it's a lot of work and it is obvious you put a lot of time, effort and TONS of love into it.
Thank you for sharing it w/us.

I think your video is so cool - all your videos are so good. I think Elvis would be amazed at all the videos that have been done with and about him.

[presley31]

don't listern elvislady, you made some wonderful videos

[Dudcowboy_1]

See I think maybe they are talking about the "little blue pill" ad Viva Vigra maybe? Because I think they where going to use Viva Las Vegas but they changed the words is which is a Big No NO!
