If you post copyright material, in full, even with a disclaimer, just
remember that it might be termed outside the realm of Fair Use and lead
to your receipt of a takedown notice, or even a subpoena to appear in a
court action.
RIAA are thugs, but, may have the current law on their side and will use
it to extort money from folks who post content on the internet. Even
many instances of Fair Use in parodies, critiques, or, commentaries
have been threatened.
99.9% of attorneys will give the other .1% a bad reputation!
