Silman's Complete Endgame Course - YouTube

In case anyone doesn't know and is interested, The Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Atlanta has two instructors who have been streaming Silman's Complete Endgame Course on Twitch and then uploading it onto YouTube. I'm on the 4th lecture and it's been very informative. They put all the diagrams up and basically read what Silman says minus some of the extra.

Any other whole and well-know chess books being read in lecture format on YouTube?
I think James Canty III did something on Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual.
If I was Silman I'd pursue litigation for copyright infringement, but he probably has better things to do living his best life.
I think it depends on the context of the positions. If there was annotation, then credit should be given. However, if you are demonstrating a fundamental part of the game, no one owns that.

They are not reading it word for word and they do let announce when they are reading directly from the book. So they cite his work appropriately. If anything it's a benefit for Silman as many people will likely buy the book because the stream really illustrates how amazing the book is.
