It is NOT illegal to show a ham rig in a for-profit movie. It would be illegal to use it to make the movie (wardrobe for Ms Breasts please). If it were a movie about hams, it might be OK to actually use it in showing how hams used radios. If it was supposed to be a cop radio, it would be illegal to use it as a cop radio unless the actor using it was appropriately licensed and not shooting real footage. Or something like that. This is not legal advice and I am not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV. -- Dave Gomberg, San Francisco NE5EE gomberg1 at wcf dot com All addresses, phones, etc. at http://www.wcf.com/ham/info.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
