Copyright & Fair Use: What You Should Know Before Downloading

May 20267 min read

This article is general information — not legal advice. Laws vary by country.

The safest rule

If you didn’t create it, get permission from the creator (or rights holder) before reusing it.

Fair use is not automatic

  • Fair use depends on context (commentary, criticism, education, etc.).
  • Shorter clips don’t automatically mean fair use.
  • Attribution is good practice but doesn’t replace permission.

Tip

If you’re reposting: consider using TikTok’s built-in sharing tools whenever possible.
