I attempted to upload the above dance freestyle video to YouTube but said that it exceeded the 60 second copyright limit for shorts. What a weird time. It made me think about a past blog post I did regarding copyright strikes and social media. The below is the definition of Fair Use regarding copyrighted material.
Fair use is basically defined as any copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and "transformative" purpose. According to what I found on copyright law online, the language used is vague on purpose - this way it can be open to context as to how each piece of content is used. So based on this, it would seem that just posting on social media (such as Instagram or Facebook) would come with it the assumption that it would be fair use. From the position of YouTube, any copyrighted music was basically demonetized... which I suppose makes sense from the perspective of you profiting off of someone else's creative work.
I had a dream once, of being an Ancient Atlantean Warrior Princess. Being that my upbringing was very sheltered; I would find a portal in an old willow tree... that would take me to a Secret Place...
