It depends on a lot of factors, most notably what agreements the rightsholders have made with YouTube on how to deal with content they feel is infringing. The video may be blocked or deleted, your account may be blocked or deleted, the audio (if applicable) may be silenced, or the rightsholder may simply choose to have additional ads put on the page, such as links to where viewers can legally view or purchase the content.
There is no predetermined amount of copyrighted material than can be used. Unless your video would qualify as "fair use" you will have to seek permission before including copyrighted music & posting it.
You just did! The design of this webpage is copyrighted and the words you are reading at this moment are copyrighted. However, you have a LICENSE to download them. If you do NOT have a license or other lawful excuse to download copyrighted material, then it would be illegal to do it.

YouTube removes copyrighted materials from its website to avoid a contributory/vicarious infringement lawsuit. In MGM v. Grokster (the most recent Supreme Court case on contributory infringement), the Court said that some of the main factors for finding Grokser (a peer to peer site) liable were that it did not sufficiently police infringement even though it could have, and it received a continual financial benefit from the infringing material from ad revenue. YouTube (naturally) does not want to be the target of an infringement lawsuit, and so it does go through and remove copyrighted material when it can. If it remained willfully blind to the infringing material on its site, or if it knew about the copyright violations but did nothing about it, YouTube would likely be found liable for indirect infringement.
Unless it would fall under "fair use" no it is not "okay" to use copyrighted material without permission
No it is not, however, it would still be better if you would ask the author for permission before using their answers ..
I would think that it was, originally. But the material may have entered public domain by now.
If you manage to find a full version of the movie on YouTube, then you can play the video to watch the movie. However, beause it is a copyrighted material, I would imagine that it would not last long on YouTube because the owner of any part of the video, whether it be audio or visual parts of the movie, will be able to send a takedown notice alerting YouTube of copyright infringement. If a video is infringing someone's copyright and somebody claims it to be their property, then the video can be taken down.
It is not necessary to ask permission for "Fair Use" of any copyrighted material. The best source of information you have particular to your state and district for the use of copyrighted material is your district head librarian.
Any material that you yourself have not expressley created is copyrighted. To upload it to myspace you would likely need to obtain legal persmission from the copyright holder.
The app itself is not illegal to my knowledge, but getting copyrighted material, that you would normally have to pay to get, for free is illegal
