The Second Circuit assumed, without deciding, that unauthorized embedding constitutes copyright infringement. It held that Townsquare’s use of the video was not fair under Section 107 of the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 107, because it was not “transformative.” Townsquare had failed to “add something new, with a further purpose or different character, altering the original with new expression, meaning, or message.”
