Hey all,
I have a channel with no strikes and that I keep down the straight and narrow and only post original content.
I am just finishing up a video that will be just a little over 4 minutes long. I want to insert about 15 seconds worth of the theme music from Jaws. It's one of those pieces of music that nothing else can replace in the mood and message it conveys. It's not necessary to have it in there, but it'd sure be awesome if it was.
I'm quite sure that this forum only advocates zero copyright usage. Or is there room for fair usage here? I've read many different things. I've read that generally under 30 seconds is okay - as long as it isn't a significant portion of your own video. But I've also read copyright material that was 3 seconds long getting flagged. I'd sooner leave it out than get a strike of course.
Can I upload the video as a private video just to see that status and not get a strike?
