Okay so the other day my friends and I were biking and I was recording it. He wants to make two videos of it and put them both on MY YouTube channel. I said no because that would mean giving him all the footage as well as my SD card because he doesn't have his own, downloading a video editing software, teaching him how to use it, helping him edit... basically holding his hand every step of the way as he edits MY footage.
I went ahead and made a video without him and posted it, he then posted an angry comment on my video about how I didn't let him make a video. I quickly deleted his comment (5 hours later) but he posted another comment saying how we should make two videos. (I took this comment down too)
The problem is that I shouldn't have to give him anything because I spent $400 on the camera, $35 on the SD card, 5+ hours going through 3 hours of film and editing and $0.99 on the song in the video as well as filming the whole thing. He hasn't put his money into anything, the only thing he did was bike as hard as he could to stay in the cameras lens but think that the rights to the video should be split 50-50.
Am I being childish by not giving him the video or do I have a valid point? Also is there a way that I can tell him (if you guys think that my argument isn't sound) that i'm not going to give him the video?
I know the argument is biased but I really did pay that much for everything and he really didn't pay for anything. (He was just in the film)
