Uploading Help?

Can you upload a video already from the internet? For example: If I found a video from youtube, could I upload that video to a different site? Im sorry for the newbish question, I'm just not computer savy.
Thanks

Don't pilfer someone else's work. Ask the person on Youtube if it's OK and they tell you how to get it.

Depends on the site...

It depends entirely on the site, as some will go fetch the content while most will require that you download it first, then upload it from your hard drive. Regardless, remember that not all videos online are permitted to be redistributed, so check that out before proceeding.
