A.Dear Client,

Using a portion of a video clip from social media for commercial purposes through your own applications without authorization could lead to a violation of Intellectual Property Laws, specifically the Copyright Act. If the creator becomes aware of this unauthorized use, it may result in legal consequences, potentially leading to convictions and penalties.
