If I uploaded copyrighted contest on Youtube, would it make it legal if I included all of the copyright information in the description?

That depends on what copyright is applied to the media. Most of the time no, but sometimes an author will specifically give up rights on a piece of content. Most stuff is not allowed to be redistributed/rebroadcast in any manner w/o the permission of the copywriter. Now there are laws in place for using quoted text and video clips for reporting purpose. So I can use a piece of copyrighted material if I'm specifically discussing that material in some way. I'd have to look up again exactly how that works however. In the US you have a fixed set of rights for a piece of content you create. * to produce copies or reproductions of the work and to sell those copies (including, typically, electronic copies) * to import or export the work * to create derivative works (works that adapt the original work) * to perform or display the work publicly * to sell or assign these rights to others * to transmit or display by means of digital audio transmission (XM Satellite Radio, Sirius) Since uploading is both reproducing and public display, no, it's not allowed even if you site the source.
