You tube revenue sharing

[Tree cutter]

I received an email from youtube yesterday saying that i may be eligable to join their revenue sharing scheme. Has anyone here had any experience with this? They said that one of my videos has been a huge hit with over 15000 views and they would like to use it for advertising purposes globally. They say i will recieve a percentage of the money earned from the ads. I took the video at a drift meeting at Mallala SA years ago and it is of Danny Smith doing a demonstration burnout in his C10 Chevy Pickup. He sent me a message thanking me for putting it on youtube because he said he had lost his copy.
What i would like to know is can i get in any sort of trouble for putting a video of a public event on youtube and will other people want a share of any money i could make out of it. There were no laws about filming public events when i took the video and posted it on youtube but i think there are now.
I dont want to get sued out of this.

Users "modifiedcarforums" & "blownhemi" have videos from various events and I do believe one is made a YouTube partner. If it's your own footage I can't see a problem and I know that some make some really good coin out of it. FAB boasts about 2.5K a month and says he knows of one other making up to 9K a month. What's your channel name?

You would want to be very careful about giving advice out like that. It is not as simple as you seem it to be

Modifiedcarforums goes to many events around the country. Mostly for the burnout competitions, however, now that I think about it I do remember one user needed permission to video the Michael Jackson Thriller Day last year.

I must be lucky, I've got a long lost uncle that has died and left me 1,000,000,000 US and I just have to send my back details to claim it.

My youtube name is Scarred01 9K a month would be nice. I am on a disability pension at the moment getting $701.00 a fortnight so it would be good if i could get off the pension.
