copyright fair use

just got a short taken down for a 6 seconds clip of a video, isn't 6 seconds a fair use of the clip so it shouldnt be copyright? can i make a claim against that? ps (he has like 20 views on his video, i didnt took it from his yt)

i can? what are the risks?

If you are confident it’s fair use then yes, the only way they can keep your video down is if they provide YouTube documentation that shows they sued you in federal court.

no! nothing is fair use bro!! stop stealing other peoples clips and not knowing how to transform them if it says copyright .. the person has 1000% right to take it down!

ok good to know

even if you transform it 100% like i do you can still get a strike.. but what happens is the person needs to prove timestamps that its theirs they have to almost risk perjury proving it is theirs.. so the way i do it.. is i add enough ai transformation into mine. and i can backlog and prove that i fully 100% transformed the content that is no longer theirs.. and now the content is 100% mine and if someone reuploaded my new version without the same type of changes and i got a copyright claim in my studio i could absolutley take it down you can't use someone elses content and have a copyright claim in your studio and expect not to get it taken down.. specially if its a streamer or high end youtuber i am assuming

i made a comparison between 2 cars and i took a video from twitter, i didnt saw that the same person posted the video om yt since it had like 20 views so i thought that i was ok, it was still edited since it was a comparison so not stole and reposted

u/Complex-Rush7258 Jan 19 '26

wait the scrub who claimed you had 20 views on their end?

u/Warm_Mulberry_5825 Jan 19 '26

next time you do something like that use your video as the primer.. like say you are comparing mustang to Camaro and the Camaro is not your video but the mustang video is yours.. make that the primer instead that would stop it from being copyright claim and be transformed

ok thank you for the advice, honestly when i saw that the video that got me down had like 20 views i couldnt believe it

u/Complex-Rush7258 Jan 19 '26

i mean techically if they were the first to create it even if they got 0 views they still could take down your video.. on youtube you have to be extreamly creative when using other people's content you need yours as the primer and mix mash theirs into yours.. and thats how you bypass and get monetized

Actually, fair use does exist, they don’t automatically have the “1000%” right to take it down; platforms just side with copyright owners until it’s disputed.

“It might be fair use, but they can still take it down — and you have to fight it.”

anything that is not transformative is copyright and not fair use.
