    What are the copyright laws around using like 2 seconds of a movie

    I have seen several YouTubers who would "flash back" to a very short scene from a (Hollywood or Disney) movie. My questions is does this not infringe on copyright laws or are you allowed to use extremely short segments from a movie?
