Re: Use of film images for animation

Copyright Associations are currently fighting the use of "mixing"
within the music industry. This involves using only 3 to 4 seconds
of other artists' music to create a new song. As at the present time,
I am unaware of any precedent in this area. However, courts appear to
be taking a liberal view over what constitutes an `infringement' of
copyright. It may well be that you will soon have to pay royalties
for the use of bygone footage!
