ah there's an interesting twist to this debate. suppose as an end-user publishes a video from a commercial tv broadcaster on say, youtube, for explicitly non-commercial end-use, and to share with others. this is quite similar to the 'fair use' terms often sited by wikipedia.
I believe fair use is only about 10 seconds of copyrighted multimedia and that also when the intention is just to show an excerpt related to a larger content. Putting a whole program would probably be an offense even from a layman's POV.
