Fair Use Disclaimer for Legal Purposes

Pursuant to Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, "fair use" is permitted for purposes such as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright law that otherwise may be infringing.

The balance tilts in favor of fair use when it comes to non-profit or educational or personal use.

United States Copyright Office - Definition of Fair Use:

Disclaimer for YouTube (For monetization)

Fair use is a doctrine in the United States copyright law that allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders, such as for commentary, criticism, news reporting, research, teaching or scholarship. In the case of a video whose television station no longer exists, the programs were already publicly broadcast, meaning that they are not considered to be confidential or private. Additionally, the fact that the television station no longer exists suggests that the programs are not being sold or licensed by the copyright holder, making it less likely that the use of the video will negatively impact the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. Furthermore, the use of the video may qualify as criticism, commentary, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research, which are all purposes that are generally considered to be fair use under copyright law. As such, the use of the video in question may be considered monetizable under fair use principles.

The purpose and character of the use, including whether such 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.

The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

It is important to note that the distinction between fair use and infringement may be unclear and not easily defined. There is no specific number of words, lines, or notes that may safely be taken without permission. Acknowledging the source of the copyrighted material does not substitute for obtaining permission."

The 1961 Report of the Register of Copyrights on the General Revision of the United States Copyright Law cites examples of activities that courts have considered as fair use: "quotation of excerpts in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment; quotation of short passages in a scholarly or technical work, for illustration or clarification of the author's observations; use in a parody of some of the content of the work parodied; summary of an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report; reproduction by a library of a portion of a work to replace part of a damaged copy; reproduction by a teacher or student of a small part of a work to illustrate a lesson; reproduction of a work in legislative or judicial proceedings or reports; incidental and fortuitous reproduction, in a newsreel or broadcast, of a work located in the scene of an event being reported."
