How youtube allow these channels to use copyright images and video

Or, limit your use of the song so that it falls within the fair use guidelines I outlined above. You cannot just cut and paste a song, place some lyrics on-screen, and naturally assume it's yours.

Amount of content is absolutely unrelated to Fair Use. That's nothing but extremely lame myth.

I was referring to the previously-established context of using it for the purposes of review, critique, or parody, which are covered by fair use.
If you're going to respond to my comments and try to say I'm wrong, at least take the time to comprehend the context of my statement.
 
Okay, here's an example. Let's say I am a famous singer and I make a hit single. If you use my whole song on your video, which is a lot of content from my content, then that is not fair use. However, I may have an exception if you only use maybe 30 seconds of it. You see, the amount of content is extremely important, or else it's piracy, which is illegal.

Depends on WHY you're using that 30 second clip. Context is key. Also, while some singers & composers may set their own rules on how other people may use their songs, it's not entirely up to them to decide whether people use their material. In some specific cases you do not need permission to use copyrighted materials like music, but it's generally the polite thing to do anyway. For example, if a college professor decided to play a clip of the song or the song in its entirety as part of a larger class lecture on music and the arts, it's perfectly legal, as reusing music for educational purposes is protected by law. Alternatively, if a YouTuber, small or large, used a sample of a song as part of a review or response video to that song or music video, it is protected under fair use because they are providing their own original commentary and critique, which is considered a transformative work. You have to be really careful when using copyrighted material, but you can still get away with it if you are careful.

Yup, your right.
