By the sound of things, they don't really care too much what your
fair use argument is - if the owner squeals, they're going to take it
down or delete your account. I would set up a separate Youtube
account for any copyrighted material, so that if the account gets
deleted, you don't lose other stuff. Given that, as discussed in the
other thread, there's almost never any traffic that comes to other
videos on your channel as a result of one video getting popular, what
have you got to lose by having multiple accounts? In any case, the
best way of linking videos on Youtube is not by having them on the
same account, but by using one or two tags unique to you - like
byenvideo, perhaps - on all your videos, so that they show up in the
'related videos' panel.

Copyright issues
Although a parody can be considered a derivative work under United
States Copyright Law, it can be protected from claims by the
copyright owner of the original work under the fair use doctrine,
which is codified in 17 USC § 107. The Supreme Court of the United
States stated that parody is the use of some elements of a prior
author's composition to create a new one that, at least in part,
comments on that author's works. That commentary function provides
some justification for use of the older work. See Campbell v. Acuff-
Rose Music, Inc.
In 2001, the United States Court of Appeals, 11th Circuit, in
Suntrust v. Houghton Mifflin, upheld the right of Alice Randall to
publish a parody of Gone with the Wind called The Wind Done Gone,
which told the same story from the point of view of Scarlett
O'Hara's slaves, who were glad to be rid of her.
Parodying music is legal in the U.K, America and Canada.
I want to upload a video clip from a news broadcast, to Youtube. To
avoid violating terms of use (copyright infringement), can I add some
text for satire (commentary). Would this parody of a copyrighted
broadcast..work?
Isn't that how Jay Leno/NBC (or Jimmy Kimmel/ABC) can take news
clips, air it on their comedy shows with satire.. get away with it?
This subject has come up on this list a while back. But, I forgot
the outcome.
