Discussion on Fair Use and Video Clipping in Content Annotation

“This is a very controversial one. Uh, if you clip a video, you know, some people might be like, hey, that's my video. Of course, there is fair use. So you get to clip a little bit of a video these days. I, I actually feel like this is a generational thing. Our era, the idea of taking a piece of someone else's video and then reshareing it was like, oh, I don't know. You should just link back to them. But today, clipping has become such an art form unto itself. And maybe arguably the best way to share content to get wider attention. I feel like people have less of an issue with it. And as long as you're giving credit, it's not, you know, more than a few minutes of the original content. I think that's okay. I think you're right. If it's a percentage of the original that doesn't preclude somebody from watching the original. And it's clear you're not the owner, as it would be on a website called Annotated. And if you're doing fair use, the four-part test for fair use. You can look up. But one of them is you're doing criticism here. So they're taking the whole episode. No bueno. Uh, I would say taking, you know, I don't know, two minutes would be just fine.”
