Re: New Opening For Varinka

I can see the other side of the argument. I only realized that the balalaika solo I used on this other sample from Varinka 

[youtube]9MB7_24tv2M[/youtube]

was available for use only under a non-commercial Creative Commons license after I'd already put it up on youtube. I don't plan to make any money on the completed video, but [b]do[/b] intend to use that to find a film maker who'd be interested in buying the story (yeah I know, that's a longshot...) so in a sense that [b]would[/b] be commercial use. So I looked up the musician, found him on a antiques collecting forum and sent him a PM explaining what I needed his music for. Within a couple hours he got back to me and said my use of it was fine with him. So it all worked out. Keeping track of all the music and 3-d props I used so I can give the creators all credit at the end will be something of a task. My concern about the images that I'm reworking the pages for involved their being covers of Sports Illustrated, Cosmo and Maxim magazines, and the logo of Baltika beer, a popular brand in Russia, and I didn't want to create  problems that could cause youtube to take down my video. Big corporations have deep pockets for litigation, and I'm just a step away from homelessness.
