  I believe yes if the content is under Creative Commons License.

  I think it's a gray area, but researchers often just do it. Better to ask for forgiveness than permission I guess. You could never collect datasets like ImageNet if you had to obtain individual permissions.

    At least some jurisdictions have research exemptions in their copyright laws, so at least I don't need the copyright owner's permission to use any data for research purposes. I'd still prefer to use explicitly open datasets because it allows for simpler data sharing and easier reproducibility, however in cases where that's not possible whatever is available will do even if I'm restricted in how I can redistribute that data.

  Likely to fall under fair use, both for the research aspect and given the very low impact on factors 3&4 of 17USC107 for videos used to train neural nets.

  Sure, but having it fully tagged in a data center across from you helps.
