By the way, feel free to use my project from last year as an example. I wrote a whole discussion about how I created something that never would have been anticipated by the original photographers whose work I used. Furthermore, Wikimedia offered a good bulk of the material, so I couldn't use any NC material, and I doubt anyone who used an NC license would be happy to have stopped my use:
http://blog.wolftune.com/2011/07/brain-parts-song-video.html I'm happy to say that quality does seem to rise to the top. I was concerned about similar but really mediocre videos on YouTube making it harder for anyone to find mine. It took time, but now my video is the most popular of its type and gets 100+ views a day despite me having little other claim to fame and doing no real promotion. Of course, if I had my way, I'd direct everyone to archive.org instead. I detest the ad-infused YouTube and other Google sites, and I've refused to monetize my video by adding more advertisements.
