The law says it's different, and those who incest in producing content say it's different.
A clip from a two hour movie is normally fair use for two different reasons. a) it's a tiny part of a much larger work and b) it does not compete with legitimate performance of the work. That is, you don't watch a clip of Kill Bill instead of going to see the movie. So it's double fair use.
People sering a funny clip from Kill Bill are more likely to buy or watch the movie, so producers generally like that, not complain about it.
When someone steals a twenty minute porn vid, that's the whole work or a significant portion, so it's not fair use like a thirty second clip is. It also competes directly with the legitimate creator of the work. Why buy a membership when you can see all the same full length videos on sites that stole them? That's the second difference and reason the stolen porn video isn't fair use.
