This YouTube video makes use of The Lion King 2 and Lebo M's song, "He lives in you". Even if this were a class project, strictly for educational purposes, it would be failing when it comes to copyright law. The poster, TigerXtrm, does give credit to both Lebo M and Disney, but I highly doubt he received permission from either of them. Also, the fair use laws say that someone may use up to 10% or three minutes of a video (whichever is smaller), but this person used 4.5 minutes which is definitely not shorter than 3 minutes. fair use also calls for a maximum of 30 seconds for each musical composition, but the entire song was used. This hurts whoever holds the copyright for the music. I wouldn't have to go buy Lebo M's song now, because I can just listen to it on YouTube.
