Unless your project would qualify as "fair use" legally you cannot use any part of a copyrighted work without permission.

Despite the various "urban myths" (10%, 300 words, etc) floating around there is no preset amount of a video that you can "borrow" without seeking the proper permission from the rights holder.

There's no straight answer to this. Fair use (or fair dealing, depending what country you're in) might exempt your use, but there is literally no way to know without being sued and going to court. If you need to use a large amount of someone else's material, or what might be considered the "heart" of the material, you may be safer getting their permission in advance.

When using samples using the fruity loops software do you need to copyright your music?

If the samples you are using are royalty free and you want to copyright your own stuff, simply keep the FL project saved and the project data, FL Studio and plugins used need to be registered to your name if you want the credit. You can not use already copyright material without permission to sell or even broadcast your work. You can also not claim any part of your work as solely your instrumental interlude if FL Studio was your host application, especially if you used legit plugins used by professionals that are often made to emulate their work as a plugin for DAW hosts. Use the creative commons practices and save your money on copyright as it does not seem to protect anybody much nowadays. Create a very high quality downmix of your final work and do not change a thing, then present it to someone you completely trust as a "gift" with the date on it. This is a legal backup loophole to prevent anybody stealing your work. In a court of copyright law, you can produce the project files, the project itself, the registration and ownership of equipment and software (FL conveniently records time spent on projects, check project setting to see), and finally the high quality downmix your trusted friend has as evidence.

How much video can be used on youtube before it can be copyrighted?

There is no magic number for the amount of copyrighted content used that will lead to a copyright notification. Fair use is a very ambiguous rule and is judged on a case-by-case basis. To be safe, avoid using any copyrighted content in your videos at all.


Is permission required to edit a video downloaded from the internet if the edit will never be reuploaded?

If the video is seen by anyone other than you, then you need permission or copyright. If it is something that is very well known (ie. a popular music video or film) and you are not using the video in a negative way, to make profit, or to pirate it, and you are only using part of it, then they will likely not care because it would take to much effort and money to be worth it (it's more profitable to go after large companies with money than one single individual). However, it is still their right to sue you for any reason, at any time, if you decide you use their video without their permission.


Why fan-anime videos that using copyrighted music on Nico Nico Douga does not blocked by copyright violation in Japan?

Some video distribution sites use automated matching systems (such as YouTube's ContentID) to discover and block infringing material; other sites rely on humans to discover and block infringements, and are therefore much, much slower to notice.

If you publish a movie in Movie Maker can you still edit it?

Yes, you can still edit a movie/video that has been published in WMM (windows movie maker). However, you would be editing the published version of the project (not the original MSWMM project version).This is the best way to put a WMM video together, in my opinion. Using several WMM clips that you know for a fact are are compatible with the program (since you created and published them with it), makes movie/video producing much easier.I take smaller clips that I've published on WMM, import them back into the program in order to create different projects. The editing process on previously published WMM video/movies is the same.Upon completion of each new project, I publish it. That way I can continue to import and edit the video whatever way I choose.:)
