Avoiding Violating Fair Use

How does copyright and fair use apply to Youtube? Write a reflection on three instance where you might have violated copyright on YouTube. Now that you've learned more about copyright, how might you have solved each of these three situations using the fair use clause?

Copyright and Fair Use laws apply very much to Youtube. When uploading content created by another user to your own video, these specific guidelines must be followed. For instance, I once uploaded a video with copyrighted background music. This was a blatant violation of the copyright law especially because no credit was given to the creator of the video. Unsurprisingly, the video was taken down. In order to solve this problem, i simply needed to use a royalty free remix of the song or a entirely different royalty free song. As mentioned in the first scenario, I did not know to include citations for the copyrighted content I took from online. All it took was to simply write the name of their work and the name of the creator in the description below. I was also oblivious to the amount of copyrighted material I am able to use in the project. I have had instances where I used the copyright material for more than half of the video. Simply including more original content would have solved this problem.
