::I'm not aware that "academic freedom" is a defense to copyright infringement! Further, that legal issue is in fact settled. Although it depends upon the nature of the use of the "seconds," a copyright violation can cease to be ''de minimis'' from a use of as few as 60 seconds of video/audio.

::#I didn't say the two issues were related.
