Use case #1: there is a video of a speech by a politician, and the
video is licensed in a way which prevents third parties from hosting a
modified copy.  Clipping functionality would allow a user to create a
highlights reel containing notable sections.

Use case #2: there is a concert recording, and the recording is
licensed in a way which prevents third parties from hosting a modified
copy.  Clipping functionality would allow a user to address a single
song within that concert.

Use case #3: there are a set of recorded jazz performances which
contain segments that an educator wants to use as examples, and the
recordings are not licensed in a way that allows the educator to host
a modified copy.  Clipping functionality would allow the educator to
publish the set of examples.

I hadn't thought of the time-based annotation application, but now
that you bring it up I think it's really good.
