 * Hello Frank,
 * I hope you’re doing well, and thanks for this plugin!
 * I wanted to use it for site speed and GDPR.
 * As I understand, the plugin can be configured to cache the YouTube thumbnails
   by saving them on our website server.
 * My concern is: doesn’t saving thumbnails on our server violate any copyright,
   if we embed videos that are not ours but uploaded on YouTube by other people/
   brands?
 * Thanks again!

 * I’m afraid I’m not a lawyer so can’t give a binding answer, but my gut says it
   should not be a problem as it is just a cache for which in some jurisdictions
   the law explicitly makes exceptions. But if you want to be sure you should contact
   a lawyer 🙂
 * hope this helps,
    frank
