There's plenty of music out there for use that doesn't have a thousand tiny strings attached. Basically, if BMI or ASCAP are involved - DON'T USE THAT MATERIAL.

I started my own business about three years ago and as part of my marketing I created a web page. On that website, I posted three stories that I had shot and edited as demos. The A.D., a very pleasent sounding guy (he arrived after I left) asked me to please pull the videos down. The legal dept. at NBC did not want me to use their property on my site. The funny thing is that they have been up there all this time. The three stories were not linked to any other site. I know that the networks are getting a bit nervous in this digital age... I guess that demo reels online are different than demo tapes in the mail. For NBC to come after me now is silly, they should be more worried about their upfronts than coming after a former photographer. The material is part of my personal resume, it is an exclusive sample of my work and I do use it to try and get work. I understand the "work made for hire" rules, and it certainly is the right of NBC to make me pull the video down. Strange days indeed....
