This study, Recut, Reframe, Recycle: Quoting Copyrighted Material in User-Generated Video, by the Center for Social Media, shows that many uses of copyrighted material in today's online videos are eligible for fair use consideration. The study points to a wide variety of practices—satire, parody, negative and positive commentary, discussion-triggers, illustration, diaries, archiving and of course, pastiche or collage (remixes and mashups)—all of which could be legal in some circumstances.
