That just means it’s then subject to its own copyright. It doesn’t mean that the derivative work is also exempt from the terms of the original copyright.
For example, you can use a sample in a new song. And that new song can by copyrighted. But you still have to seek permission from the copyright holders of the sample to use it.
Fair use is the only time it’s legal to use another copyrighted piece without consent. And the rules for fair use vary from country to county.
Seek? In the grand scheme of things asking forgiveness only applies if you're going to not be that transformative and something like YouTube's automated copyright strikes might affect you. "Ask Forgiveness" is often a better option.
Fair use is a defense, not a requirement - You don't need permission to claim fair use; it's a legal defense if you're sued
Seeking permission can backfire - Copyright holders may deny permission even when fair use would apply, creating unnecessary barriers.
This is especially true for parody and commentary.
