Fair Use: The Four Pillars of Permission
When incorporating clips from other creators, assess the four-part fair use analysis: First, evaluate the purpose and character of your use, examining whether it is educational or commercial; commercial uses may lead to legal issues. Second, consider the nature of the copyrighted work, focusing on its category (video, audio, music). Third, analyze the amount or portion of the work you're using—a small clip from a long video can be more permissible than a significant portion of a shorter video. Lastly, while the duration of the clip matters less than its proportion to the whole, context remains critical for fair use consideration.
