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.
