[Case study] Apply fair use to your video legally ?

I know that fair use is determined by court and when you use other footage, you will get strike or match copyright content. Even if you write something like "under fair use protection or Content featured: other channel link" in the description.
But, I've found an interesting case: People Vs Food channel. It is a sub channel and belongs to REACT channel just like FBE, Try not to.

Link to their latest video :
They are a big media company I guess.
BTW, the latest video I just posted. They use Rick and Morty footage, and credit in their description like " Content featured: other channel link". The problem is some of the channels belong to individuals and some big channels are verified.

I've seen a lot of their videos. They usually use 20, 30, 45, 50 seconds of other footage on a smaller screen. Normally, if you use that much time, you will get match copyright content or even demonetize for sure. But they still grow and make money from youtube.
I don't think they have permission from the publisher, because they've used a lot of anime footage too and to get permission from them each video is impossible.

I think they are doing a really good job on fair use.
Overall, to use other footage I think you have to appear on your video as much as you can, use video under 60 seconds (maybe, because I think it's the best when it is under 5 or 6 seconds), Edit that footage smaller and bring it to the corner of your video.
What do you guys think about this case? Do they really get permission to do so or they belong to a big network that allow them to do it?

Note: I know that we shouldn't use other footage, so it's not helping when you say that again .

Pretty sure FBE has a deal with big movie studios. Otherwise they would still receive (false) copyright claims, even if they had enough money and resources to fight this in court. You can't compare us to those large channels, they play under different rules.

well, I think they will have deal with studio if they can. But in other video, they just use anime footage from many movie studios and just credit the link of the user who re-up it. So I think it has to be something else.
This is why I post this study case in here.

@YoutubeGodFather : Do you have any idea of this case ?

if you wanna do fair use, it is possible.
the best idea is to make it in fair use format and join an mcn network.

because if you get a strike, but have a fair use case, then an MCN network can support your case, on your behalf by manually contacting youtube.
many big creators are in MCN networks to stay protected.

sometimes you can have fair use case but get false intentional strikes.
MCN can protect you better in this case

Is it true that if you're with a MCN you avoid automatic copyright detection?

thats only with direct managed CMS.

MCN is ok to protect you from fake copyright strikes, false demonetizations etc.

since they will contact youtube and try to help you.
but they dont protect from any automatic detection.

with CMS when you get whitelisted, its a different story.
no detections, nothing.

But what if your MCN offers CMS.

Fair use just works if you are into a network
