Even with music, you can make "remix" and distribute for free

No. You cannot make a remix or use samples without a license.
YOU CAN!
Err... no you can't. In general, you can't. Yes, I know what
"fair use" is. It differs widely from jurisdiction to
jurisdiction and within an jurisdiction and is very much a
case-by-case issue.
E.g. professionals often get the right to display examples of
their work to prospective customers, or you get to create a
satirical work based on other works, or for research etc.
"education" isn't good enough, alone, if it was it would be
impossible to sell educational works.
But the Bern convention set out to protect copyright holders, not
end users. So all it says is what the minimum requirements are...
but all jurisdictions can grant creators _more_ rights than what
the convention says. The only obligation is that local and
foreign creators are treated equally.
