GuestSeptember 12, 2025 at 1:22 pmThere’s some nuance to this…
Assuming you’re in the United States you can use portions of copyrighted material for education or commentary under the Fair Use doctrine. With that said fair use isn’t a get out of jail free card, it’s an affirmative defense that you’d have to make at a trial in the very unlikely event that someone wanted to take you to court.
With the way a lot of systems work, you’re most likely to run afoul of issues with longer clips and especially with the use of copyrighted music.
