Fair use says you're often entitled to parts of IP-protected works for the purposes of education, exposition, parody, reverse engineering, the historical record

Fair use says you're often entitled to parts of IP-protected works for the purposes of education, exposition, parody, reverse engineering, the historical record, etc. A journalist's right to fair use of IP is often hampered by the platforms the IP is distributed under. If Google had their way, journalists wouldn't be able to use yt-dlp, or other clients, to include clips from content published on YouTube in their reporting.
