Fair Use to AMVs?

[aussj4link]

I was wondering if The Fair Use Act applies to AMVs. I tried going through it but, call me dumb, I didn't really get it. If anyone could help me here I would be much appreciative.

I'm fairly sure Fair Use only applies to things that serve an educational purpose. So if you were reviewing Anime, technically you would be able to use clips from an anime. (In moderation of course. You can't put up the entire episode.)

I'm no expert but I don't think it would count

The AMV uses small clips and no sound from the anime itself.

Ok. Yes. I realize this. I've seen AMVs before, though I'm also fairly sure that unless you composed the music you're making the AMV for, you're using music from an artist. Correct?

It doesn't fall under fair use if it's not educational, you're not reviewing it, parodying, etc.

I'm pretty sure that's how it works anyways

I see, I wonder how others do their AMVs and avoid copyright.

I don't think they do. I mean yeah people get away with it, but only by luck and not making money off it.

Nah, a friend of mine got a strike without claiming by shonen jump because he reviewed a Naruto manga.
