Copyright holders would still track the IPs that these shards are coming from and sue/threaten them for copyright infringement. 5 seconds of Mulan compressed and sitting in isolation is still illegal to distribute


Is that really true? I thought it was fine to use small snippets of stuff?


It's fine to use small snippets, but it specifically has to be for commentary, satire, derivative works, etc. The term you're looking for is 'fair use'

Even distributing a single still image or frame is infringement
