Need Help with Video Copyright!!!

[ZtnelGame]

What's up guys,

It's Matt again, I'm starting to relize that I spend a lot of my time in the copyright section. But anyway more to the point, what's the copyright law based around video. I know you can use like a 30 second clip of copyrighted material for education purposes (or somthing like that.) But what can you use for entertainment purposes?

Thank you,
Matthew "Ztnel" Lentz

Simple, you can't use any.

The question was asking about video, not music.

I shouldn't be rude, but I'm going to be. You just asked a question that requires hours of research in response. Google copyright law and start reading.

As to the 30 seconds bit, that's not true. Either you can use the content for a purpose, or you cannot. There is no stock time amount that is permitted.

• Motion media, e.g., movies, film clips, excerpts from television shows, etc.:
  • Up to 10 percent of the total or three minutes, whichever is less.

Found the answer through a little research. 10% or 3min whichever is less. I knew there was some odd restraint on it.

I meant music in videos.
