Wow, I never thought I'd see the day. Had to upload this.

Would you believe ALSO believe it, I got together the below statement, and I hope it is helpful to anyone looking to understand the rights under which this video is uploaded:

As the key decision maker for this channel, I have considered the balance of the original producer of this work, as well as any copyrighted works intentionally or otherwise included, and concluded this video is “authorised to use” as stated within YouTube’s copyright policy. (https://www.youtube.com/intl/ALL_au/h...)

Fair use is a legal doctrine that promotes freedom of expression by permitting the unlicensed use of copyright-protected works in certain circumstances.

Title 17 U.S. Code § 107 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/te...) provides the statutory framework for determining whether something is a fair use and identifies certain types of uses—such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research—as examples of activities that may qualify as fair use. § 107 calls for consideration of four factors:
• Purpose and character of the use, including whether the use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes, the;
• Nature of the copyrighted work, the;
• Amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole and;
• Effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

U.S. Title 17 § 106 and § 106A do provide "Exclusive rights in copyrighted works" and "Rights of certain authors to attribution and integrity". Three cases of note include:

• “Lenz v. Universal Music Corp.” held before the United States District Court, Northern District of California regarding the use of takedown notices upon uploaders (including this channel) whose videos contain music under § 106 & § 106A. (https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/...)

• “Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc.” held before the Supreme Court of the United States (https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremeco...)

• “Righthaven vs. Hoehn” held before the United States District Court, District of Nevada, regarding civil cases brought against posting material by copyright holders, against those who upload for noncommercial, nonprofit use, as well as to further access to broadcasted media without these commercial or profit motives.
