Youtube Game Animation #2008 Overdrive

While I do not claim to be a IP attorney . . wouldn't this case fall under fair use in terms of an educational use of said copy righted material . .?

as always I reserve my right to be completely wrong about this.

Hello everyone, i had emailed FIRST concerning the Copyright infringment issue, and they replied with this email

Hello James -

Thank you for your email. Please note that you can post the animation on your team's web site. If possible please credit Dave Lavery (as he created the video) or FIRST. Please do not edit the video in any way. Thank you.

There is a part in the Website competion guidelines stating that Copyright policies must be observed. I found the game animation video on Youtube, and was wondering if embedding the link into my teams site would violate copyright, as that video was not officially posted by FIRST. If this is infringement on copyright, where could I go to link an embedded video into our site?

Thank you,
