Ken makes a key point when he says &ldquo;While the host may be correct, if they are not, then it is me and not the host that will be held responsible for posting it. I do not want that responsibility.&rdquo;

My two questions are, 1) What exactly is the nature of the two remaining clips whose inclusion is problematic? and 2) what would &ldquo;being held responsible&rdquo; mean in practical terms?

On the first point, how long are the clips and what are they of? Music? Broadcast footage? Do the clips comprise the entire original work or do they amount to a minor quotation?

In the US, Fair Use is an actual legal limitation of creators' rights under copyright law. The US also has the DMCA, which effectively allows providers to host anything, and if a copyright holder has a problem with their stuff being included somewhere they can file a takedown notice and the provider handles it by simply removing the content in question. But this is not the case in other countries, particularly the EU where there has been a lot of, shall we say, new development in this area recently.

If the answer to (1) is "the two clips are actually entire Beatles songs"&hellip;then there isn&rsquo;t really a legal defense no matter what jurisdiction we're talking about.

But even if the answer to (1) is "They are fifteen-second excerpts from an hour-long lecture given at a public university", &hellip;If the answer to (2) is "we don't/can't know so we are acting out of an abundance of caution" I can respect that.
