so you copied a function that has existed for years in normal videos to flash videos
really interesting double standard you have there
again not saying it illegal, or wrong, such copying is exactly what fair use is designed to protect.

exactly without fair use that however is exactly what would be left
remember the copyright holder controls all ability to monetize it
taking the code base that was used in regular videos and adapting it to flash videos would fall under that scope.

a creation for one's own sake.

actually copyright has nothing to do with expressing idea, if your work is in the public domain your rights of expression are exactly the same as if you own the copyright
the difference is the ability to make money/control that expression, to prevent people from making money/their own expression based on that work.

Copyright does not stop "derivative works"!
The problem you have is that you think editing a 20 minute video down to 5 minutes
is a derivative work.

look up the word derivative that exactly what it is.
Even if it was infringing it would still be derivative
however when the context is changed, free speech right dictate that it should be allowed
this is the greatest dance routine i have ever seen is legitimate free speech
it means nothing without showing you the dance routine i am talking about.
