"The Canadian Copyright Act allows the use of material from a copyright protected work (literature, musical scores, audiovisual works, etc.) without permission when certain conditions are met. People can use fair dealing for research, private study, education, parody, satire, criticism, review, and news reporting. In order to ensure your copying is fair, you need to consider several factors such as the amount you are copying, whether you are distributing the copy to others, and whether your copying might have a detrimental effect on potential sales of the original work."

COPYRIGHT - YOUTUBE FAIR USE CONSIDERATION (direct quote from website September 4, 2023)
In the United States, judges decide what’s considered fair use. A judge will consider how the four factors of fair use apply to each specific case. While international rules about copyright exceptions are often similar, they can differ. Different countries and regions may have different rules about when it's OK to use copyright-protected material without the copyright holder’s permission.
The four factors of fair use are:
1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposesCourts typically focus on whether the use of copyright-protected material is “transformative.” This means whether the use adds new expression or meaning to the original material, or whether it merely copies from the original. Commercial uses are less likely to be considered fair use, but it’s still possible to monetize a video that contains fair use material.
2. The nature of the copyrighted workUsing material from primarily factual works is more likely to be fair use than using purely fictional works.
3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used relative to the whole copyrighted workBorrowing small bits of material from an original work is more likely to be considered fair use than borrowing large portions. But, if what’s borrowed is considered the "heart" of the work, sometimes even a small sampling may weigh against fair use.
4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted workUses that harm the copyright holder's ability to profit from their original work are less likely to be fair uses. Courts have sometimes made an exception under this factor in cases involving parodies.

Debunker BINGO - With Bingo's popularity booming, Ward developed a home version of the game. He registered a copyright for the rulebook “Bingo” in 1933 and described it as “Bingo, a modern game adapted to commercial use, to advertise merchandise and to stimulate sales.” He did not, however, renew the copyright.
