Let me preface this by saying I'm not an attorney, however the copyright act is one of several subjects of which I am quite knowledgeable.
Copyright law and the copyright act are very complicated. So much so in fact that there are actually attorneys who specialize in copyright law. There have also been several judicial precedents over the years that have tried to streamline copyright law into a more readable and more discernible set of facts and several of those judicial precedents have succeeded in producing what is known as the doctrine of fair use. The doctrine of fair use is actually now part of the copyright act. The doctrine of fair use consists of four articles and these four articles basically streamline the copyright act and allow an individual or an attorney or even a defense attorney to determine whether or not there has been an infringement of the copyright act. We are going to concern ourselves with articles one and four pertaining to the you tube community. The doctrine of fair use is very easy to find on the internet, you can go to the United States copyright office website and find it very easily.
