Will youtube delete this video?

I have some educational DVDs that I use for a test I am studying for. I want to watch these videos when I am traveling, but my work laptop won't play DVDs and they are too large to fit on my phone. I have been able to rip them onto my computer.

I was thinking that I could upload them to youtube as private and watch them on my phone. Will youtube automatically zap it because of its copy-write, or do they only do that if someone complains?

    Uploading ANY copyright material is technically illegal,

    especially if you write a stupid fictitious disclaimer like

    the one from the other answerer. That's fraud & perjury

    because it is almost the equivalent of purposefully and

    knowingly lying under oath.

    Even if you upload copyright material as private videos,

    that's nonetheless "distribution for public consumption".

    That being said, the only thing really stopping you is if

    YouTube/Google have those educational DVDs in their

    copyright database. If they don't, you are probably OK.

    relies upon on the music, what replaced into it? often times those with diverse recommendations or religions discover some lyrics offensive and get all mad about stupid stuff like that. Similair to the whole Christmas Tree in situations sq. deal. someone had to be a politically perfect son of a turtle and attempt to end it. in simple terms repost the video if the music wasn't undesirable.
