I am the lawyer for YouTube PROs, like @mondobytes. I learn their SECRETS for using Fair Use in YouTube videos. In this video, I reveal YouTube Pros’ SECRETS fo…

I understand the techniques and examples provided; however, does Fair Use have anything to do with monetization? Despite the techniques, can creators monetize their content and claim that the use of the borrowed art therein is justifiable as Fair Use?
There is some major YT drama going on between the company RemoveYourMedia CEO and reaction channels right now. A lot of creators are getting hit with what they call "false copyright claims".<br>The channel NicholasLight turned to his laywers and will not back down from this fight against RemoveYourMedia. This is the biggest copyright/fair use story of the year on YT. If your intrested in making a new video you could! Unless you are the lawyer of course!
This video is a bit outdated, cause now days I view many channels that run the hell out of other videos they're making fun of or scrutinizing. Especially like with bodycam videos.
how are YOU not getting a copyright claim on this video?! you are using so much of other YT videos. you are using pretty long parts
That's not true. The only reason popular Channels like PewdiePie avoid copyright claims is because the makers of the shows want to the exposure and what better exposure is there than Pewdiepie? Therefore they have no reason to feed copyright claims to them.
Can you do this same thing while narrating Reddit stories? Stop and comment as you read to help to make it fair use?
Can we use a sound of thunder or rain?
All I need is an image from a film throughout my youtube videos. My question is: Is this legal? How do I find out if it is fair use? I really dont want to use copyrighted stuff, honestly.
But I used MY camers and made a video of what was showing on MY free-to-air TV station. That's MY video that I created ... 🤷🏾♀️
Interesting! I need this information. I am a product photographer and need to be able to take photos that relate to my business without getting into copyright infringement.
I appreciate you for making this video. Reactions have ramped up in popularity on YouTube, and I do them on my channel too. I try to comment whenever I can parody a lot of it frequently too to keep it within the Fair Use doctrine. I watched this to make sure I'm doing it right, and it was good to know I'm on the right track from a pro! Cheers man!
Im so confused how so many videos seem to violate these principles and don’t seem to have copyright strikes - like compilation videos or someone just laughing - head in the corner at another video on screen. How are these fair use?
Yeah, but are these channels monetized? That makes a big difference.
this video is so meta
Why say Commentary. Commentary is not a fair use exception. it appears nowhere in the law. It is a myth. Parody is a factor. Commentary is not. Clip length also is not a factor. Total percentage is. For it to be fair use you have to use the least possible percentage of the original. Why are you lying about the law and the one youtube adjacent court case ruling? The videos out there that use 300-500% of the video in short clips can be laid on your shoulders.
Thanks for the info! 👏🏽👏🏽
@iancorzine Do the same thing than the Better Call Saul example. Small square, my comments are on top, the clip has no sound, and I slow down the clips sooo much so I can comment on the non-verbal communication of the actors. <br><br>Yet all my 1hr videos were demonetized. Im scared of appealing cause I dont want the videos to be taken down 😞 <br><br>Would love to have your feedback
For the Legal Eagle clip, would fair use apply as well if he just narrated over the movie clip? And not showed a video of himself?
I understand you can contact the person to get permission but how do you do that exactly? Where would you find an email or address? Would a old news documentary from 1958 black and white TV would that be copyrighted to that channel that channel? Wanting to show a native Indian giving an explanation of what is to come in New Year.
I really don't see how some channels survive. I see them copy and paste someone else content and put their name on it. Copy and paste someone else video content and then put a popular copyright song on top of it. I would like to protect myself and my channel so thank you for this information.
I am considering doing a feature film--with much commentary on different things... does your strategies work for Feature films? And if not all which ones? To be avoided? More likely not to be a problem? The piece I am considering is of a political nature--and might include some well known political folk...who say different things that might should be "questioned" or made fun of? Or turned out with bad results. The "use" would come in as moments in a larger movie... example: say... have a President saying something... and we halt to comment... and maybe show the not so good result of their presented form of action(which did not work out). IE bad outcomes to not so bright ideas... can that be considered "fair use"? A kind of lampoon of a bad idea proposed... as great idea...hen we see bad outcome. Historic example... CUSTER'S LAST STAND... HE'S GUNG HO... FULL OF PI--N' VINEGAR... talkin' smack aboutwhat he's gonna do... then...quick view od aftermath... with hrdes of indigenous tribes, basically--having done to Custer and crew what he crowed about doing to them... FAIR USE...if real in current politics and actions taken.. that bravado expressed led to foolish failure?... FAIR USE?
thanks
Could i get around it fully if I use 1980-1990s footage from old television programs
Dude, you say want to watch video click. Only for one second. When I click, there's no video think, just your other videos threads. Pls keep link longer. Not a split second. Now still can't see video you referenced to at 0.17
Great video, thanks for sharing.<br><br>However, isn't this really how to avoid Youtube' over-zealous automatic copyright detection tools?<br><br>All of the examples in the video would fall under 'Fair Use' if someone was using good faith and common sense arguments, we shouldn't refer to this aggressive takedown policy as legitimate 'Fair Use'.
thanks for the video, If I use a clip from a movie would I have to write anything in the description section? Thank you
I am a new youtuber. Suppose if I use content from website that share clips from quote. Example: If I type "I hate you" then it will generate tons of videos from movies where they have used this quote. Do you think Ill be in trouble to use them in my videos?
Hello, in any case video gets monetised whether it is very short, commentary or educational or report or parody, is not it commercial purpose use and automatically non-fair? Author borrows another authors content without permission and gets money, does not the law in USA consider it non fair? The other question is - even if it is fair use will not algorithm just find commercial use of copyrighted content without the analysis of its context and strike each time by default and hinder each time channel growth and monetization even if undone later? Thanks
Can you show a bottle of Wine and a glass on YouTube video?
great video thank you
came here after Rick Beatos video
I just think it’s too much of a hassle to worry about if you’re doin it right. I see many channels react to other content creators clips. They’ll still get hit with claims. And if not just that, I can imagine how annoying it is to worry about if my content will be stroked later. I just try to be original
Thank you! +JMC
Would a watermark over the used video help? It would obstruct anyone from coming to the commentary video for the sole purpose of viewing the content of the used video.
Can I use AI avatars for my analysis?
What is somebody takes a minute and 19 seconds video of mine that has no sound and makes a few comments while playing the entire video? And they also posted on another platform after lifting it from YouTube.
I needed this
Thank you but is it the same thing in the UK?❤
Am I allowed to use memes in a video, for example wojak? Some youtubers use memes in their video.
Damn, this video is underrated (future lawyer rewatching this as I write my book about the First Amendment). Thanks!!!
Thank you!
If am an artist and an engineer and I want to do content where I “sample” or download a YouTube beat to write my own lyrics mix it and master as an educational piece of content by showing the full process will this still be considered fair use or do I still have to implement things like shortening the YouTube beat making a commentary or comedy which I’m all for minus the shortening the YouTube beat due to it taking the showing the full process part out of it? 🤨
What is your opinion of movie or musical mash ups with clips of many different movies or songs put together ?
I like how he’s using the same techniques he’s talking about.
Is it the same with documentaries and using news clips I'm doing a documentary on bullfighting and I have to use some news clips of protesters
I would love to have you as a guest on my channel and interview about this. So many people argue with me about what fair use is. I’m a former journalist so I’m SO careful with my videos.
📺
This video was worthless
QUESTION: I see a lot about fair use but I haven't found anything telling me how to acquire an OK from copyright holder to play OLD movies, tv shows (30+ yrs old & not available on DVD)??? Any help would be awesome! TIA
My young son wants to make “Rick roll” type of YouTube content. He is using a snippet of copyright music and a well known game character. It’s a 30 second YouTube short but has no commentary. As a parent, he is on to something very funny and entertaining. However, I’m worried it could cost him a copyright strike and since I have my own channel on YouTube, I’m worried he could cost us both an IP ban if he finds himself in trouble with YouTube too many times. Is this a legit fear? I want to lead him in the right direction; following the rules and laws. How does it work with music? Young people are making “covers” of popular songs. Also, can my son use a small clip of copyright music and game character to tease people at the end of his videos? He argues it is a parody and fair use, but he’s just a kid. If you have a link to a video explaining any of my concerns, please let me know. I’ve spent a while trying to gather information to keep him on the right track. Many thanks!🙏
Is doing a voice over enough ?
Please make a video on "How to use 'Fair Use' as a faceless YouTube Channel"
Great video, and I did truly watch Legal Eagle’s first a few months back. <br><br>My only suggesting is slowing down the motion a bit for us that have flashing trigger migraines. I’ll keep watching hoping it is a one off :)
Can I screen record a online course I am a member of and make a review of the course ? The online course has a copy right claim stating no copying is allowed, but if it is for a fair use purpose is that okay?
Thanks from Chicago. No longer then 5 seconds.Shore and sweet. Thank you
Can I use the video clip to express mg music video?😮
Talent-less theives. Make your own damn content. Just gross.
I have two questions <br>1. Can you monetize you video under fair use <br>2. Do you need to attribute every single photo you found on Google or other sites . For example pictures of people and places
Can i use segment from news channels like cnn, bbc for my YouTube content?
Can I do a reaction video if the video is not paused and I use the entire video?
So, I try to use Gifs to express something, like if I say "And he is jumping" and I display a Gif of someone jumping for 1 second. Is that Fair Use or its not enough? Do I have to actually manipulate the Gif itself as well or something?
My videos are for entertainment purposes and I make fanmade music videos for personal use. I feel that my videos are under and protected under fair use. I'm not infringing on anyone's copyright and I'm not making any profit out of my videos. I put in my dispute in for four of my videos to see how it goes. I explained the purposes and reasons for my videos and they are very transformative. So far, what I did seems to be working with my template I used. So any advice on if it works and doesn't work and how about do I go about winning my case?
Hello- I am wanting to use published journal articles in my u tube videos - I am a nonprofit organization BTW - is this legal under fair use-thanks in advance !!
(Clearing throat) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFv2kCVY_Z4&t=245">4:05</a> Smedley Butler is a Marine, the most famous Marine, not a soldier! 😊
is it okay to use a 17-second clip from a film that was made over 50 years ago, put some text on it and use the poster in the top right-hand corner?
Hi, How would fair use come into play, going through comic lore, and comic panels. I see a few YouTubers that use AI or self narrate a lot of copyrighted comics, marvel, DC, and just wondered how they manage to get around showing almost complete comics using fair use policy,
What if the commentary doesn’t directly talk about the clip but the clip adds by portraying the emotion or feeling directly talked about in commentary for an educational channel about Autism? Or does the clip have to be directly referenced as a thing that’s happening everytime?
Good stuff and consistent with what I've learned about fair use except for one thing I'm not clear on. When you suggest altering the image, would that be considered making a derivative? And isn't a derivative without consent a violation of copyright? At least that's my understanding. But perhaps in the context of all these other variables being appropriately implemented a derivative makes it more appropriate. <br><br>I'm dealing with a copyright case right now where someone used my content. But they we're not using it in a transformative way that was educational or newsworthy in a professional sense at all, it was more inflammatory. They were also showing my content for a very long time, minutes even, for the majority of their video actually. And they monetized their video that used my content throughout their video. They weren't professional about it at all and alluded to the subject in my content being drunk in one video and the other video they were alluded to the subject not telling the truth. Youtube accepted my copyright claim but then they countered. And in the counter they went as far as saying my content was public domain, but it is clearly not which is a misrepresentation in the counters.
So if I were making a documentary style video on the history of the revolutionary war and I’m discussing how the British troops started marching to Lexington and I displayed a history channel clip of British troops marching in their American revolution documentary would this fall as fair use? I know you said educational content is a form of fair use to begin with but I didn’t know if that still applied to a monetized YouTube channel since it’s technically no longer a personal use project and more of a commercial use since you receive money from it
Love it! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I wonder what the situation is with translating other people’s content and reuploading it? Just adding subtitles in another language or voice over?
Solid video. Thanks for this. What’s your take on having textbook commentary for educational purposes with legitimate transformations etc. (clear fair use in itself) but we monetize our commentary community outside of YouTube (such as on Patreon or Skool)? How does Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. or other supreme court rulings and legal understandings apply to, and support, this use case?
Im reviewing/critiquing a long interview video of deep topics. I’ve altered the video by mirroring it, slightly speeding it up, then putting a red and black effect (instead of black and white) over the video. I also plan to place a video layer of my live reaction a little overtop the footage. My responses are longer between each portion I play/react to. I’m also not reviewing the entire interview in one video but only 10% of it while also not including the videos 20 min intro. <br><br>My questions are:<br>1. Is it safe to do it according to the way I have described it so far?<br><br>And<br><br>2. How long can each played portion be that I react to?<br><br>Thanks!
Are props in the background a possible violation or are they also covered under fair use? And how can you employ them without violation?
What if he gets copyright strikes from Legal Eagle and and PewDiePie😂
I run an English language education. channel, im looking into using movie clips as examples of use of words in the english language so im looking at using a sentence that includes the word to express the use of the word but be engaging at the same time and more entertaining. what are your thoughts on this can i do this or would it make troublwe for my channel
I am currently editing a video for another channel I made about top 10 dangerous animals and I included a copyrighted video of an elephant going on a rampage but I only added like 3 seconds of the clip and I added commentary over it. Does this count as fair use?
Mr. Ian, a new subscriber here, thank you so much for this info. Do you have any particular advice for people who want to start a true crime channel?
Hi, I started a channel a little over a week ago, in Spanish. I contacted a Dr who talks about sports injuries and I asked him for his permission to be able to translate his videos. Nevermind my Spanish is at a University level and I do journalism, he directly replied that he would flag my video for copyright.<br><br>But now that I see your video, I was actually just going to take a portion of a video, around 2 minutes of 8 minute videos and translate what he was saying. Would that be legal? He's already taking videos from TV games.<br><br>Thank you very much,<br>Daniel
How can we contact you
thank you
Can you use quotes from a book under fair use? Can someone generally talk about the book to qualify as fair use? For example, Dr. Phil talks about "cancel culture" in his new book "We've got issues?"
Hello, I use some kids songs in dance videos. I appealed the copyright on one as fair use for education purposes but the dispute was rejected. What can i do about this? my dance is nothing like their original video, i just used the song. THey focus on using animation but my focus is dance. It's different and for educational purposes T_T
Do super thanks matter when ur posting video games and say u have some on ur channel that isn't fair use how will that be ok to have super thanks on for that video because I can't find out how to do it per individual video
I just won a fair use dispute with youtube on my latest video "Instant Family: Surviving Foster Care " where we used clips in the movie Instant Family to to sh3d light on a man's story who's doing life in prison
I was curious about using music as background music on educational videos that don't involve music. For instance, can I stream a playlist on Alexa in the background of my painting videos if the videos are instructional?
Hey, was I right in going to YouTube and saying this is under fair use as it’s police body cam footage
Can one play an entire video straight through and comment while it’s playing instead of stopping the video?
Does fair use also apply to music videos?
Can someone who is deaf react to videos without getting a copyright strike? If not, why?
how to you go about giving credit correctly in the description?
If i use clip from movie for recap purpose and make it Rotate, Colour change also add overlay effect and voice over on it. Still be claim as original work?? Can owner still have rights to gave me strike for using movie clip reference? <br><br>Thanks in advance
thank you for your tips😊
Thank you. Subscribed!
Youtube people assume we all know celebrities on Youtube. Good content. Not sure what a Cutiepie is. Listened to b/c I love Legal Eagle. :-) I'll be back
What about showing a news website with us next to it and talking about that article?
Thank you !!
Would these exact 3 "EXAMPLES" apply to TikTok videos also? Or does their Creator program not allow any millisecond clips ?
Question: The Rockafire Explosion is an animatronic band created by Aaron Fletcher like 50 years ago. He seems to own the copyright to the character names and the name The Rockafire Explosion . <br><br>I went to Billy Bobs Wonderland who has these animatronics and I have recorded and posted many videos on my other channels. (Usually get copyright claims for the songs - no worries)<br><br>Well Aaron decided to copyright strike me for a performance of a popular song that the owners of Billy Bobs programmed the animatronics to perform. <br><br>Aaron owns the characters - But did not program the animatronics I recorded, does not own the song performed, and to be technical the owners of billy bobs have to make their own mask for the animatronics and they are not 100% the same. *They do use the character names and the name The Rockafire Explosion. <br><br>Can use of the name, be a copyright strike? Also there are thousands of Rockafire videos online… Can he chose to just pick one of mine and still have a case?<br><br>Thank you
Do you have any questions about how to use Fair Use in your YouTube videos?
