Ok, so I know there are a few things that allow Youtube to have an ad on your video. (Copyrighted music[the copyright owner gets the ad money]) But what if you have no copyrighted music on your video, and everything is your own personal material? Can these ads be removed and if not, where the hell is my cut of their advertising?

Also, I ran an Improv Group YouTube page and we are looking for income, How can we set up the ads so that we make money every month? I know one guy who makes $20 a month off of ads and that would be a perfect amount for our group cause we do not need much money...

Also, Feel free to move this! I could not find the location I was try to find. (Distribution section)

On the end-user side, Adblock Plus on Firefox takes care of nearly all ads on YouTube, including in-video ads.

Basically, the in-video ad is a .swf file that can be easily blocked. Adblock detects this .swf and blocks it.

But if you're talking about Google's Adsense and Sponsored Links, only Google has control over that. You could try the "Revenue Sharing" feature and see where that takes you.

yeah, I am talking about the ad that pops up on the bottom at the 0:10 mark.

I am not looking to get rid of it for me.. I want to get rid of it for the people watching our videos. I don't want them to have to click down the ad.

The only way is to tell people to install Firefox and Adblock.
