Many individuals believe that using a short portion of a copyrighted work, such as a song or video, falls under a gray area where legal action is unlikely.

However, the truth is that there is no specific legal protection in copyright law for these types of uses.

Whether it's 15 seconds of a song or 8 bars of a musical composition, using someone else's work without permission is still considered infringement.

Copyright law is designed to protect creators' original works, and it doesn't provide any exemptions based on the duration of use.
