Hi - we are considering using the API to build an app with your trailers. Is the content licensed/what allows us to legally use these trailers?
Thanks?

Hi Osagie,
The only videos we support on TMDb right now are links to YouTube videos. Given the content landscape of YouTube, I can't really say for sure. We try to prefer linking to the studio channels on YouTube but that doesn't always work out. Whether or not the trailers on YouTube are legal is probably more YouTube's problem than ours as we only link to the YouTube ID.
