Copyright Law: Do My Monetized Youtube Videos Qualify for Fair Use

lundi 13 octobre 2014

I have a commercial YouTube channel centered around interesting facts accompanied by relevant footage.



My YouTube:

My question is in regards to fair use, and if it can be applied to my videos. Currently, I cite all my image / video sources in the video description and attribute them accordingly. I only use creative commons work that is fair for commercial use via a license. I know if I attribute the imagery I am justified to use it for commercial purposes, but when I visit other similar YouTube channels such as this one and this one , I notice they do not cite their image and video sources and attribute the creators in their description. They even use imagery that is not specifically under a fair commercial use license (All rights reserved imagery).



Could this be because the video style meets the fair use standards of commentary or education? In other words, would my commercial channel qualify for fair use in the sense of commentary or education? It would be wonderful if I could use any imagery I wanted instead of finding imagery with a license and then citing every image I use in my video descriptions.



Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks.
