Courts consider potential fair dealing cases on the basis of the facts of each individual case. You`ll probably want to seek expert legal advice before downloading videos that contain copyrighted material. Many people use third-party tools to download YouTube videos – but is it legal to do so? In rare cases, we`ve asked creators to join an initiative that protects certain examples of „fair dealing“ on YouTube from requests to remove copyright. As part of this initiative, YouTube compensates creators whose fair-use videos have been subject to takedown notifications of up to $1 million in legal fees if removal results in a lawsuit for copyright infringement. The goal of this initiative is to ensure that these creators have a chance to protect their work. It also aims to improve the creative world by educating both the meaning and limits of fair dealing. I`ve seen a lot of compilations on YouTube. Personally, I do not intend to do so. But I want to know if fair dealing allows the use of copyrighted content for compilations without the owner`s permission. Thank you in advance.
