Wait. Something has been lost on me here. You mean the McCain
campaign might have used the clip from THE TEN COMMANDMENTS without
any kind of permission whatsoever??
I don't think anyone who is commenting has any idea if this is true
or not Kirby
There have been no news reports of anything such and if the campaign
bought media - from for instance - Corbis or Getty Images, then
royalties are paid by the lessee of the assets. IF any royalties are due.
Did you ever notice that Biography has loads of clips from movies??
These are available from numerous sources and may not be required to
pay any royalties because they are usually clips from trailers for
which no copyright was secured. I believe the measure is that
trailers from pre-1968 are usable in this way. I'm sure that Sean
will know much more on the subject (but he's in Peru.. on his honeymoon)
