Re: EOL showreel (again)

I heard you can't use more than 10% (?) but this is the most specific (and simple) info I could find. But generally, you cant (re-)use things or parts to sell products, and sources need to be clear, http://www.cmsimpact.org/fair-use/best-practices/code-best-practices-fair-use-online-video#common FIVE: Copying, restoring, and recirculating a work or part of a work for purposes of launching a discussion  Online video contributors often copy and post a work or part of it because they love or hate it, or find it exemplary of something they love or hate, or see it as the center of an existing debate. They want to share that work or portion of a work because they have a connection to it and want to spur a discussion about it based on that connection. These works can be, among other things, cultural (Worst Music Video Ever!, a controversial comedian's performance), political (a campaign appearance or ad), social or educational (a public service announcement).

It was handled by someone who was paid to do it. I don't see this happening if it's not through AD. And we can all assume they won't care much to do it. They haven't thus far. Eric T.
