Reprinting Videos

 * A good example of a reprint is this reprint
 * Don't link to album exclusive covers. Reprints of those infringes the singer's intellectual property
 * If the singer forbid the reprinting of their videos, don't add any YouTube links, unless it's the singer's own upload on their account on YouTube. A list of utaite who forbid reprints, can be found here
 * If the singer has uploaded their cover on their own YT account use this instead.
 * The reprint needs to contain a link to the original post on NND
 * The title and description of the reprint should match as closely to that of the original post
 * Choose a video of decent quality
 * Do not link to a video that is English subbed
 * We are not promoting the translations as we are not a translating site and because they may be incorrect
 * Do not link to unofficial videos. For example there are people that mix an utaite's cover with another utaite's (gasshou)
