Use of footage from TV show?
I was contacted by a potential client to create a short video based on the intro to CSI: Miami. The 2-3 minute video will be shown at the start of a seminar in Miami. They want to take the real CSI intro, mash it up, and create something "fun". No DVDs, no web, no broadcast, private one-time showing.
I'm not sure about the legal issues, I told them I'd investigate. Comments?

The answer is always the same. If it isn't yours and you don't have permission to use it then you can't use it. You could expose yourself and your client to legal action if you use that CSI footage.

I always know a copyright conversation/education is approaching when this comes up, then I wait to see if they will go find somebody else who will do it - and it is best to let them go. No need to put your future on the line so their event can have an intro that they deem fun. |
