Title: Lawsuit over plugin Last modified: March 15, 2022 --- # Lawsuit over plugin * Resolved [pagannation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pagannation/) * (@pagannation) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lawsuit-over-plugin/) * I hope this post finds you better than it does me. I am being threatened over the use of the pro version of this plug in for two reasons: * 1 – Per copyright complaint, while displaying Youtube videos is lawful because the video is hosted on Youtube, the description text and any images in that description is not. There seems to be no way to use the automation feature without importing that content. * 2 – Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Thread Starter [pagannation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pagannation/) * (@pagannation) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lawsuit-over-plugin/#post-15462729) * Sorry, kind of freaked out, hit return by mistake.. * 2 – Per complaint, one may not display Youtube videos on a site that is monetized with so much as a donation button. How then can you offer a Pro and a Business version? * I of course took the offending content down and apologized. But fear this will become a regular event and do not want to break the law. * Plugin Contributor [wpvideogallery](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpvideogallery/) * (@wpvideogallery) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lawsuit-over-plugin/#post-15462901) * My sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused. * Kindly check my replies below, * **1 – Per copyright complaint, while displaying Youtube videos is lawful because the video is hosted on Youtube, the description text and any images in that description is not. There seems to be no way to use the automation feature without importing that content.** * I understand that there should be an option to exclude the description content from importing. I promise that we will have a quick version in the next 24 – 48 hrs and that has the option. * As a quick solution, I can get you the code that removes the description from the videos that are already imported to your website. * Kindly try adding the following code to the bottom of your theme’s functions. php file and refresh the page several times. The code below would update 100 videos at a time. Once you believe all the videos are updated, remove the code to avoid any performance issues. * ``` function aiovg_custom_delete_description() { $args = array( 'post_type' => 'aiovg_videos', 'post_status' => 'any', 'posts_per_page' => 100, 'meta_query' => array( 'relation' => 'AND', array( 'key' => 'desc_updated', 'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS' ), array( 'key' => 'import_id', 'value' => 0, 'compare' => '>' ) ), 'fields' => 'ids', 'no_found_rows' => true, 'update_post_term_cache' => false, 'update_post_meta_cache' => false, ); $aiovg_query = new WP_Query( $args ); if ( $aiovg_query->have_posts() ) { $posts = $aiovg_query->posts; foreach ( $posts as $key => $post_id ) { $post_arr = array( 'ID' => $post_id, 'post_content' => '', 'post_excerpt' => '' ); wp_update_post( $post_arr ); update_post_meta( $post_id, 'desc_updated', 1 ); } } } add_action( 'wp_loaded', 'aiovg_custom_delete_description' ); ``` * Hope this helped you! * **2 – Per complaint, one may not display Youtube videos on a site that is monetized with so much as a donation button. How then can you offer a Pro and a Business version?** * There is an option in the import form called “Exclude urls” [https://plugins360.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/automations-import-sources.png](https://plugins360.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/automations-import-sources.png) that you can use to exclude such videos from importing. * But, I understand that you need this to be done automatically. If possible, kindly get me some example video URLs on which you received the complaint. So, we can see if the YouTube data API provides any special info for such videos to automatically exclude them. * If you have a problem sharing the video URLs here, kindly send them here [https://plugins360.com/support/](https://plugins360.com/support/) * So that helps us to work on a quick version and make sure the other users don’t get the issue in the future. * =============== * A humble request, * Since the issue is related to a particular feature (imported video sources), the topic title you have may confuse other generic users too and frighten them from using our plugin. We have spent 100s of our sleepless nights developing this plugin. I understand that we should have an option to avoid this issue. But, we are human too, and to be honest, we are not aware of this until you raise this complaint. If possible, kindly change the topic title to something like “ Lawsuit on auto imported YouTube videos”. * Thanks for understanding! * Thread Starter [pagannation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pagannation/) * (@pagannation) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lawsuit-over-plugin/#post-15465957) * Thank you on item one and the promise of the new feature. Item two I did not describe properly. On -my website- there is a donation button. The claim is I may not do 3rd party streaming if there is a donation button or any sales. * Plugin Contributor [wpvideogallery](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpvideogallery/) * (@wpvideogallery) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lawsuit-over-plugin/#post-15466933) * Thanks for your reply. So, we only need to add the option to exclude description during the auto-import. * We will have a new version within 24 – 48 hrs. Kindly be patient. * Thread Starter [pagannation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pagannation/) * (@pagannation) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lawsuit-over-plugin/#post-15474712) * Have thousands of videos. The option not to import is great. A way to mass edit without the functions.php solution would be better. * Thread Starter [pagannation](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pagannation/) * (@pagannation) * [4 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lawsuit-over-plugin/#post-15487897) * Love your plug in. It is EXCELLENT. Support is EXCELLENT. I am testing it one one site but expect it to be included in several future projects. This is just one hiccup and it is being fixed. * The people threatening to sue are upset because they can not control comments on my site. They get a bad comment n go gaga. * Will gladly change topic title but can not figure out how to edit it.
