From the following link there is a neat streaming video on documentary filmaker's frustrations with the cost and hassles of getting materials cleared for use. I thought it was interesting:

Hey, Peter, did you get that link off of my post?

Isn't that copyright infringement or something? :-)

Where's my lawyer :-)!

Thanks for the post Peter. Great little video, everyone should watch it, even though it take a few minutes to load. Those damn QT people don't seem to understand compression. Or wait, maybe those damn Microsoft people don't understand progressively downloading a QT file....

Albert, I think my use of your post is covered by fair use. I think, but I am not sure . . .

I have my lawyer's number around here someplace . . . my people will call your people . . .

Seriously, I ran across that site on my own while doing some unrelated research. I apologize to the bandwidth Gods.

John, funny, but that Quicktime starts playing almost instantly on my Mac via DSL ;)
