Linking youtube and others….

The fact that I have seen more and more video clips of this and that on blogs and websites through youtube and other user-generated video site, it makes me wonder….

Does uploading a, say, TV commercial, Music Video, or a portion of a TV show violate the copyright and/or licensing issue?

How about a compilation of clips from a sports star or celebrity?  

Not that I am trying to be judegmental or anything, but I do think we in general link whatever is available on youtube with no regards on Intellectual rights.

Any thoughts?
