IANAL.
That said, my experience with copyrights would lead me to believe that legally and ethically, you are well within "fair use" guidelines.
Practically however: certain copyright holders are well known for being absolutely ridiculous with their DMCA claims. The way the DMCA works, the copyright holder just has to make a claim that they are infringed and the website or ISP must take down the disputed content. The person posting the content may be allowed to dispute the takedown, but it often isn't worth it.
The DMCA is a game of whack-a-mole for the copyright holders. Real infringement is taken down, only to pop back up somewhere else. So, the copyright holders tend to use a sledge hammer to do the whacking and just take out any little mole that may possibly be infringing without regard that it may actually be fair use.
I had a friend who posted a home video of his family at the local amusement park. It got flagged for a DMCA violation because of the song playing over the midway speakers for all of 10 seconds. Ridiculous.
