Still wonder WTF he is talking about?

If it’s the shops, they’re:

A.) Hosted by Twitter.

B.) Transformative, non-commercial, and are covered under commentary / criticism.

The purpose and character of the use.

How is the original work being used, and is the new use commercial? Transformative uses add something to the original work: commentary, criticism, educational explanation or additional context are a few examples. Transformative, non-commercial uses are more likely to be considered fair use.

The nature of the copied work.

What is the copied work itself? Is it factual (example: a record of a historical event) or fictional (example: a novel or Hollywood blockbuster)? Uses of factual works are more likely to be protected.

The amount and substantiality of the copied work.

How much of the work was copied? Short excerpts are more likely to be protected than copies of entire copyrighted works, if the use meets other factors as well.

The effect on the copied work’s value.

Will the copying harm the potential market for the copyrighted work by effectively creating a substitute or replacement for that work? If so, the use is probably not fair use.
