Well, @calebpike (and many others). Use our videos and write about them using THEIR affiliate links to products. Hmmmm... lensvid.com/gear/10-useful-r…

Wow. Do as I did, contact Amazon and speak to the affiliate Dept rep, explain the situation and give the link and Amazon can look up that affiliate link to see who it is and close their account PERMANENTLY, they won’t even be able to purchase on Amazon anymore. That will stop em!

Does the LensVid behavior directly violate the Amazon Affiliates terms of service? I'm conversing with Iddo Genuth, the owner of the LensVid site and he's claiming this is standard practice. What he fails to realize that his site is probably helpful to those who only monetize...

I can tell you Curtis that I have reported my stolen videos with THEIR affiliate links to Amazon and each time Amazon has sided with me, the creator of the original video and closed those other affiliate accounts. Copyright video theft is a real concern for Amazon

The problem here is he is technically writing original content (summary of the video in his own words) and he's embedding the real YouTube video, so there's no intellectual property theft which would otherwise be an easy case to close.

On the bright side, at my request, Iddo said he would remove the links from all of my videos listed on the site.

For the record, I do not not not object to people making money. I do object to someone else using my work, without even ASKING, and using that to make their money. Had he reached out to me before hand this would be a completely different conversation.

That’s what LensVid is claiming. He posts somewhere between 2 and 6 paragraphs summarizing the video along with his links. He claims he puts lots of time into that “original content.” Sadly, it might be enough to convince Amazon.
