I want to begin a YouTube channel where I analyze movies and video games. Is it illegal/poor ethics to take footage from a Let's Play of a game, credit it properly, and use said footage instead of capturing my own? Is it transformative enough to edit a Let's Play to analyze the game?

I don't know if it is poor ethics, I am aspie so people often are angry at me for my poor social skills. I of course don't explain but they should relax.

It should be legal to use others material, copyright laws are always abused. Crediting them is ideal though

Give credit where its due in the footnotes, and you'll be in the clear.

It's safer to just record your own footage Or have someone do it for you. Post channel

As long as you add something and give credit it's all good.
Google "nutnfancy abridged"

It's not a matter of ethics. It's a matter of violating copyright law.

"Fair Use" in reviews has been legally defined for texts as "about 300 words". I don't know if there is case law for film og online. Google "fair use" to see. I suspect that clips of 30 seconds or less would get by.

You could also look for Creative Commons licenced LPs, but that's probably rare.

1. I would just use trailer/teaser footage, and screenshots/artwork.
2. This idea has been done before on Youtube, thousands of times.
