If I wanted to make a UFC highlight reel or a video. What do I have to do to not get in copyright trouble???

Ive made a few UFC and Street Bike videos (and ive got MANY good comments a ALOT of views). And about after a month of the video being on youtube or myspace I get my video deleted for breaking Copyright laws. What can I do to my videos so I wont get in trouble for copyright or get my video deleted?If I wanted to make a UFC highlight reel or a video. What do I have to do to not get in copyright trouble???
Well technically speaking.. if you use less than 30 seconds from each author you can freely use it. Generally if you cite the movie you are pulling the clips from that is acceptable (as long as its not an unreasonably long clip). The best option would be to email the authors and ask for permission to make highlight reels. Some authors welcome this because its essentially free publicity for them and it never hurts to ask.
