Simple question about legal issues

Let’s say i decide to make a video tutorial. Im talking about actual length video tutorial of using unity. but than i decide to sell it to people. The download of the video or w.e will not include downloads of anything regarding unity assets.

So would i have to buy a license or something to be able to sell this unity video tutorial?

No you wouldn’t have to buy it.

At least not unless you / your company earns $100k+ per year

well i guess i’ll contact unity to see what they say. Thanks both of you

Well Im guessing its fine as you are not selling any of their products or mis-using them. You are actually just selling a tutorial which youve made.

Your probably helping them by showing people on youtube how to use it, and they might end up purchasing Unity Pro.

:slight_smile:

not that i know about these things, but I would have thought selling a tutorial for a software doesn’t require the author of the tutorial (or the person selling the tutorial) to own the license…

Better be damn good tutorials.

Fallingbrickwork does this. But those are full length, step by step tutorials.

Well, I must say when you mention ‘full length’ I wouldn’t consider it as something appealing, nor worth of more money. Saying full length as in ‘long enough to seem like its worth your bux’, I find that length tiring and unnecessary, even annoying. Many of these long tutorials are a pain to keep interest on, lots of stuff done on the fly… things I already know…author’s personal thoughts… and while I get tempted to fast forward, I just won’t dare because I’m afraid I might miss that bit that was actually important, and I didn’t know about. I wish there were more compact tutorials, well categorized, in which if there was any ‘side info’ or ‘author personal opinions’, would be said with previous practice and no unnecessary delay. Often after watching 1~ hour tutorials, I can’t help to think the gained info could have been shown and explained in matters of a few minutes, no crazy prologues, no trying things out things on the fly, no messing around, just tell me where do I click and what does it do, that’d be matrix-like knowledge gain!

I don’t mean full length like

uh…and then we… uhhhhhhhhh… wait… uhhhhhhh…

I mean more like, In depth and he actually explains what going on instead of just a stupid little quick video that’s of poor quality.

yeah, sorry I did understand you actually! I just wanted to talk about my experience with other lengthy tutorials :lol:
