Interesting video, although somewhat regionally-centric. Overall I love the underlying altruistic idea of CC. Certainly in education we are eternally running into the issue of copyright vrs copywrong...
My understanding is that ©, the opponomous "Big C" was not generally legally required elsewhere in the world apart from in the US prior to 1989, when the USA ratified the Berne Convention of 1886. [New Zealand became signatory in 1928]
In my classes I have several times run into the "regionalisation" issue. In NZ we do not have the concept of Fair Use, rather the more restrictive doctrine of Fair dealing, which doesn't for instance include satire - hence the Electoral Enrolment Centre takedown, the Teresa Gatting furor and the Greens attempted amendment bill.
In my learning area my students and myself have frequently come across music video "mash-ups" being created in off-shore educational establishments [some really exciting and engaging tasks] and shared under an understanding of Fairuse. Now "owning" a CD track [nevermind ripping a Youtube video] only grants a right or licence to play, and then only for personal use, ie not for public performance, further distribution, to sell-on etc.; not withstanding our right to format-shift the media.

In New Zealand, fair dealing includes some copying for private study, research, criticism, review, and news reporting. Sections 42 and 43 of the Copyright Act 1994 set out the types of copying that qualify. The criteria are perhaps most similar to those applying in the UK, although commercial research can still count as fair dealing in New Zealand. Incidental copying, while allowed, is not defined as "fair dealing" under the Act. As in Canada, fair dealing is not an infringement of copyright.
The factors determining whether copying for research or private study is judged to be fair dealing in New Zealand are its purpose, its effect on the potential market or value of the work copied, the nature of the work, the amount copied in relation to the whole work, and whether or not the work could have been obtained in a reasonable time at an ordinary commercial price.
What the act does cover is referenced here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_New_Zealand#Exclusions_and_fair_
The ideas are further muddied by the concept of 'copying for educational use', as here by Otago University. I've arguably breached the legislation by extensively quoting Wikipedia above as I should only have taken a single copy for my own research while drafting this post, not to facilitate an entire list-group; instead providing a the link for you read yourselves.
The issue is our National Qualification Authority [NZQA] requires me to keep and submit assessment materials for moderation; the concern being that we in our good practice, presenting students 'mash-up' (assuming it wasn't already intended for sharing, adding to a clients product, publishing to other media, etc) make a copy for moderation (internally and potentially external), then as marking exemplars, or then in some cases [eg externally marked assessement] posting it on to NZQA for marking.
Contrastingly the Dutch have a remarkably liberal view of the whole issue.
