Thanks Bill for your comment. It is sometimes quite difficult for
conscientious filmmakers to know just when to seek copyright approval and
when the "fair use" concept may apply. As a new user of Youtube, I have been
blown away by all the copyright controversy, and I just wanted to seek some
expert advice before I started uploading some video from my personally
created library! I have learned a great deal from all the people who have
kindly given me answers to my questions.

Incidentally, an update on the Robert Tur case against Youtube can be seen
here:

The question of whether Youtube profited directly from Tur's footage is
referred to in the above article.
