I don't think McCain has respect for Charlton Heston. It's a sad and tacky ad. No matter which political side you're on, it's in bad form. Poor Mr. Heston just died and he's been made into a mockery. Disgusted, Toochis - Original Message From: Franc [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:

Hi Kirby, There are companies out there that disagree with you, like Sony, Warner Bros. and Disney. Most posters have some sort of claim stating that they should not be sold and remain in ownership of the printer/distributor/studio. That's why I posted the question if anyone ever been contacted

Actually that's not all the clearances that would have to be done to use the 10 Commandments clip. The owners of the clip would be cleared and paid and also the actors in the clip, the writers, the director, the musicians, they have to be cleared and paid also. FRANC -Original Message-

Hi Kirby, You are 100% right. This is what i found: The first-sale doctrine is a limitation on copyright that was recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1908 and subsequently codified in the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. § 109. The doctrine allows the purchaser to transfer (i.e., sell or

There are very clear guidelines in the Copyright Law for what constitutes fair use. Using copyright movie footage or music in a political advertisement is NOT a fair use. In another life, I was the Director of Business and Legal Affairs for a TV network. FRANC -Original Message- From:

I guess it is an American expression! When you bake a cake, you can tell if it is done by sticking a fork in it, and seeing if the fork comes out without any batter on it. So you ask someone to see if the cake is ready to take out of the oven, and they stick a fork in it and say, it's done. Some
