BLOG QUESTION ADV: COPYRIGHT AND FAIR USE

How does copyright and fair use apply to YouTube? Write a reflection on three instances where you might have violated copyright on YouTube. Now that you've learned more about copyright, how might you have solved each of these three situations using the fair use clause?
Take time to craft a 3-paragraph response to what you've learned about the future of work in this video.

Youtube has 4 main rules that apply to their copyright/fair use laws; that 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 sustainability of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, and the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

One instance where I may have violated copyright rules on youtube is when I chose copyrighted music for my videos, such as the 72 hr. challenge and my trail-z chase sequence film. I may have also violated it when I used to make edits of certain movies/tv shows, since I would pull clips from the actual content. 

To solve these issues, I can make sure that all the music I choose is copyright-free by sourcing them from reliable music sites like music bed, artlist.io, etc. I can also obtain the rights of them legally if I really need to. I can also properly credit the works that I edit with in the description of the video, but I think that the majority of the work I make should be my own content (70:30 rule).
