Piracy or not... is this illegal?


I consistently see sites offering song clips via Real Music or Media Player. Some sites offer movie clip downloads via supplied trailers, but I'm not aware of any sites that give you say 4-5 minutes of all their movies like you see song clips.

Not being too familiar with the piracy laws, would it be illegal to record approximately 5 minutes of a DVD movie to another DVD and give that to someone (allow them to download it) for free? Or say 4 clips of 5 minutes each of 4 different movies? It would not be the entire movie, only about 5 minutes, and it would not be sold.
