Is posting my own video of a game that I play illegal?

1) I know there are a lot of copyright laws but if i took my camera and recorded my tv while i played a video game, and then posted that video on YouTube, would that be a violation of copyrights or is it fine for me to do that?

2) Also if I make a video and I added music to it, would that be a violation against the artist's copyright laws or anything like that? Would it be legal for me to include a song in my video?

    I am studying law and I can assure you that it is not illegal. When you violate a law is when you copyright someone elses work. But if Its your own work its not illegal. Good Luck

    A lot of the time, people record themselves playing Guitar Hero, Halo, etc., and it's on youtube all the time. I don't think it's illegal.

    no man, nobody has time to even attempt to prosecute that:

    just check out www.csflicks.com, www.warcraftmovies.com and see what amazing things people do with editing their footage.
