Broadcasting copyrighted quotes on youtube for repub debate; would this be considered "for profit"?
I have several video questions that I would like to submitt to the Republican Youtube debate in september. However, I cannot finish them until I find out the laws regarding broadcasting copyrighted information.
I am not interested in broadcasting copyrighted pictures or videos, but simply quotes, which would include an MLA-style footnote on the slide in which they are used, and a Bibliography MlA style citations page.
Would this kind of broadcast be considered for profit?
thanks!

Answers:
The "for profit" aspect doesn't really matter, because that's only one of the factors (and by itself a small one) in the fair use analysis.
If your purpose is political commentary, then it almost certainly falls within fair use -- unless you are quoting huge sections of a copyrighted work, which is unlikely given the context you specify.
