Short excerpts etc. Not full vids and movies to be passed around and viewed freely over the interwebs.  |
that was one scene from an entire tv show
just enough to make the commentary valid
one tiny part that by definition is an excerpt

unless your going back to that bullshit only the fair uses defined in the act are legal
by ignoring the fact that the act also defines the rules they must follow to create new fair uses via the court system.
