So, take the basic concept, and make it with stuff that isn't copyrighted.
The basic concept is great fast paced music in the background and flashing
clips of Amiga ray-traced animation, applications, flying logos, 
genlocked video clips, all tastfully rolled into a 30 second spot that basically
says "Heres what you can do with an Amiga"

The actual clips used isn't important, as long as they are visually exciting and
well done. 

Something else that would be nice is to make 1 minute commercials showing the
interviews with the various people from the Amigavision laserdisk demo who
are talking about what they do with the amiga. The commercials could be spread
out over an hour or two on TV. First the flashy one. then 15 minutes later, 
do the interview with the guy who uses the Amiga for animation. then later
the clip about music, then later, the clip about business, etc. If the clips
contain copyrighted material, just reshoot them using people who don't mind
being interviewed and shown on a commercial.

[Just don't jiggle the camera during the commercials, ala AT&T :-) ]
