One where a creator signed up for receiving an earlier PDF copy at the end of May, which apparently contained all the rules about not showing x% of y, and another where a creator signed up to get a promo copy of the physical book, which only communicated to hold off on talking about it until August 1st.I watch a lot of YouTube videos and it's so common for creators to flip through a book and show large portions of it on camera. The entire point of these videos is to promote the book. I have bought books and backed the designer's crowdfunding projects because of such videos. Maybe there was an outlier here or there but on the whole nothing unusual was being done.I recently happened upon a bootleg upload of the Deadpool & Wolverine movie on YouTube. Great quality 1080p cam, and it took me about 4-5 hours to watch the whole thing. I kept thinking it would come down partway through, but no. At the end, I checked the view count. 833k views! There were comments saying stuff like they immediately downloaded the video. My point being, you can get videos taken down or modified, but you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. The books come out to the rest of us really soon and I can only wonder how many upcoming videos might break whatever guidance that creators that get the books via purchasing them won't have.</blockquote>
