Re: Usage of music in a privately screened video[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Copyright Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by M Arthur Auslander on April 05, 2002 at 05:51:53: In Reply to: Usage of music in a privately screened video posted by Andrew on April 05, 2002 at 04:06:59: : I've been asked to do a video for a company and they want to use clips of several commercial songs for a video. Because of the private nature of the screening, a legal counselor assures that it's okay, as long as the video is not distributed, sold, or publicly displayed. However, as the videographer who is profiting from the creation of the video, am I liable for infringement of copyright? It seems to be a circumstance where I am profiting from the creation of a video, and not profiting from the usage of the songs. : Thank you for any response. If links to resources that answer this question are available, please list them as well, so I have a record. If this question should be directed to a lawyer, links/info would be appreciated as well. : -Andrew It is my belief that the proper answer to this question should come from an Intellectual Property lawyer. Auslander and Thomas practices Intellectual Property Law including Patents Trademarks and Coyrights. Further it would be best not to air a consultation to the public, such as in this forum. M. Arthur Auslander Auslander & Thomas-Intellectual Property Law Since 1909
