Using "brief excerpts" from tv shows (or any copyrighted material) is generally considered "fair use". Using the entire program or a significant portion of it is generally considered piracy.

When are clips stolen?

Hi folks,

I have one serious question referring to some discussions around wambank and similar topics about "stolen" material, especially when it's found "publical" released like on tv. So - when actually is stuff stolen, when not? Some examples:

a) I record some TV-stuff like the wet-jeans scene from "Invasion" and share it via my website, rapidshare, wambank, etc. Off course, I'm not Hollywood. I don't owe the Copyright. Q: Stolen or not?

b) I find this stuff on some websites, rapidshare, wambank or somewhere else and download it. Again, I'm not the Copyright-holder. Q: Am I a thief?

c) I try to post some kind of stuff I found on b) elsewhere - whom did I steal something? A? B? Both? None? Perhaps it's created under CC-licences, perhaps not - how do I know?

Actually confused,

Frank
