"Having some involvement with fair use issue (FR), my opinion is this as fair use would more than likely be upheld. The hanging issue may be the “completeness” of the use in that he used the whole pic but the lawyer should argue it is impossible to use unless the entire pic is reproduced. Other than that I think he satisfies the other 4 major points on fair use." Not to hijack the thread (because this issue is close to my heart) but what is your view on fair use and a NEW song/recording which takes a few sound bytes of movie dialog (say maybe 5- 10 quotes no longer than 5 seconds each) and mixes them into a new song.
Is such, in your opinion, kosher under "fair use" doctrine?
