I know this topic has probably done to death because reaction type videos are popular and easy to do.
I have been looking into copyright and youtube and from my research and I am still a little confused after my research into if this is ok.
So my understanding is commentary and criticism is considered fair use meaning Reaction or Review type videos should be ok.
But When i did research about finebros type videos where you have your reaction and a little square box on the top showing the full copyrighted Music video with sound playing. My research says that this is not ok and You are only allowed to show bits of pieces of it. Example. if the reaction video is 4 minutes long then you are only allowed to show 30 seconds of the song. You are not allowed to play the entire Music video even though it's on a little box like fine bros do it.
I also did research into how finebros can get away with doing this if playing the whole thing isn't allowed and i read that it has to do with their partnership programs? This part i am not familiar with as i haven't done much research about partnership programs. I do know from the little i read about partnership programs is that they are useless and take a cut of your earnings for doing nothing?
anyway back to topic, What if i disable monetization for the reaction type videos? would this make ok?
I don't care if the react videos need to have monetization disabled as my goal of doing YT isn't about money. I am thinking of doing react videos for fun and not for the revenue. I just don't want to get sued or anything so My main concern is about the legal aspects of it.
