This video was posted by a teacher using material found from the multimedia CD that came with the textbook he uses in his classroom. I think posting this on-line for others to use is in violation of copyright law because these video clips are being sold with textbooks to schools. If you were to use this in your classroom from this Youtube clip, that would definitely be against fair use policy because you would be diminishing the commercial value of this publishers materials.
These high school biology students are pretty clever and entertaining. As I watched I noticed that they followed copyright fair use practices with their music choices (only using pieces of songs) and their images. They made it for educational purposes, and in no way diminished the commercial value of the images or music they used. I was hoping that at the end of their video they were going to have a sources cited slide... but they didn't. So ultimately in the they did not follow the fair use guidelines because they did not site their sources.
