Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Similar to music sampling, video sampling is the act of appropriating a portion of preexisting video footage (often copyrighted material) and reusing it to create a new video. The legality of video sampling falls under the fair use doctrine in the United States copyright law. Shows like Talk Soup, Best Week Ever, I Love the 70's, 80's, 90's use a lot of video sampling, but of course, this is permissible because fair use allows for sampling that is considered parody or social commentary.
