Umm no... If it is copyrighted, you have to be very careful to stay
within fair use rules which are ambiguous and differ greatly by country.

What I meant by test streams was an organized set of streams with
different video attributes (high motion, low motion, color, B&W,
different resolutions) and different attached audio (ACC, AC3,
MP2, MP3, etc.) It should be public domain, or at least distributed
under a license that allows me to redistribute the stream to a user
for testing.

I don't care if the high motion video is of your dog playing catch,
but I do care about the copyright.

I'm willing to host these videos, but only if it is unquestionably
legal to do so in any country I might ever want to visit.
