The Difference Between Saving and Stealing
In the eyes of the law, downloading a video for personal, offline viewing (like a recipe or a workout) is very different from reposting it to your own commercial account.
Copyright always remains with the original creator. When you download content, you are essentially creating a local copy, but you do not own the rights to redistribute it.
Fair Use vs. Infringement
Fair Use is a legal doctrine that allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, or education.
However, simply giving 'credit' in a caption is not a legal defense against copyright infringement. Always ask for permission if you plan to use the content publicly.
