Hello everyone, I have been looking for awhille now to understand how does some youtubers include pictures in the videos they make, when obviously the didn't get any permissions ... And I'm talking about youtubers who have millions of views.

For example, all the "Top 10 xxxx" videos does include pictures, how can they still monetize their videos and not get blocked because of copyrights ?

Does someone knows how they manage to do it ? Or if you find a picture on google, you are free to use, since no one will come and disturb you for doing it ?

Sorry, I posted the same question in another section before I figured that I shoul've done it here

im guessing you mean an "in video" image which lasts less then 3 seconds?

You can in theory do that as long as its no longer then 3 seconds long.

Thanks for the guide DjBenz

RichGuitarGamer, Why no longer than 3 seconds ? I see people puting the same picture for up to a minute sometimes :) while talking about it ...[/Q

They probably got written permission from the owner, something that bigger channels have more power - politics bro lol :)

Some channels have these images in their video since their first one :) .. They were nothing in the begining
and most of these pictures, I don't even think that you can reach the one who hold the copyrights !!

There is no time limit for copyright. Doesn't matter if you use it for 3 seconds or 3 hours, you're still bound by copyright law.
 
Read the YouTube FAQ on fair use, you can use footage or pictures that doesn't belong to you if your video falls under the category of
critique, news reporting and remixes. Also you fall more under fair use if your not just simply showing footage of other people's work just to increase your view chance but doing more of your own thing and using your niche.
Read the FAQ for more information it debunks any myths that you may have.
just paste this in (https://www.youtube.com/yt/copyright/en-GB/fair-use.html) or just type in "youtube fair use faq" on google, it will be the top search result.
At the end of the day though big companies can and will take your videos down even if it falls under fair use simply because they may own the content. They are less likely to do it to big youtubers since if the YouTubers viewer base finds out that company took his/her video down it gives them a bad name and sometimes is bad for their business since now they have people less likely to buy from them. A YouTuber showing off content that they do no own may be good for the original content creator since it can increase their popularity and get people interested in it whether it is a picture, video or game footage.

There is no time limit on copyrighted material. If you're illegally using content in your video, the length doesn't matter. Only to automated Content ID scans.

They get away with it because it's very likely that the rightful owners of the images don't care to file a takedown and probably haven't seen the videos.
