How does all that play in. Thanks for the info; What I decided to do is make up a form letter asking for permission to link to someones website or youtube videos and am sending it to all my linked content. I explained that these are not the main content of the app but kinks to highly recommended quality information for my customers. I also put disclaimers on the app stating that all my content is copyrighted by me and that linked content is copyrighted by their respective content owners, clearly differentiating between the two.

My commentary and my analysis my content. The citing of the posts on the forum is fair use since I'm providing analysis. If I were to simply duplicate the posts and not provide analysis I doubt I would be lawful. Precisely why the 'making fun of YouTube' is allow whereas the linking for commercial purposes is not. See the difference. Fred Getting consent is always wise, but not required for fair use. That's why Jon Stewart loves Papa Bear and Fox News, so much free material to work with.
