Arginate wanted to protect them from being a part of a political advertisement. Unfortunately, they are too small and maybe "fair use" is too big.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764290.post-32508157043672013172010-10-13T01:09:34.962-04:002010-10-13T01:09:34.962-04:00Bruce said:

However, we condemn the use of private, copyrighted film footage that our friends created with no political intentions. Our friends have the exclusive right of performance and distribution and its appearance on the internet is an expression of that right. The Ohio Democratic Party has no exercisable right to the footage, and the filmmakers demand that it be removed from any of their posts and that the filmmaking community receive a public apology.Ohiofilmguynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764290.post-8739490138845301382010-10-12T13:18:17.986-04:002010-10-12T13:18:17.986-04:00Hmmm, a world where politicians can no longer use ...Hmmm, a world where politicians can no longer use actors in ads because of the danger a past role may be used to undermine the current campaign...the actor may, and probably should, sue, but I like the practical implications.tim maguirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07717622436074043099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5764290.post-52774012569750050482010-10-08T17:26:20.156-04:002010-10-08T17:26:20.156-04:00OK, I was wrong.

The film in question was available on Vimeo but seems to have been removed. Check out the comments here: http://vimeo.com/15634804. The Ohio filmmaker community appears to have some Shasta-County-rancher-like beliefs about the content of the law. You hit the film, you own it, so to speak.
