I am thinking about placing some youtube videos that are related to my content on my site although they are videos with hundreds of thousands of views on youtube, they are copyrighted videos, most of them content from TV episodes now my competitors are linking to these videos that are hosted on sites that I will not link too, there sites like megavideo etc.. They show x-rated, casino and health products that are illegal in some country's but these sites who are my competitors they are displaying adsense and they are gaining higher search rankings than me for keywords like 'Watch #*$!x' where as i can only write about the subject as i do not want to embed the videos as i display adsense advertising.
Some of my competitors are embedding youtube videos and they are submitted by users who are not the official copyright holders.
I was thinking about putting them on pages and showing other advertising for example my own in house ad sales where i sell banner advertising but because these pages would be linked from my homepage i again am worried it will effect my adsense account as i would be linking to a page with copyrighted material i have tried to email adsense support but have had no responce
thank you
