    I was thinking of a business idea and wanted some input on the legality of the matter.

    I wanted to make a business in which I make music videos for people for vacations/birthdays/weddings/etc. The way I read the law, as long as the person I am doing this for owns the copyrighted materials used in the video through legal means, I could use their copyrighted materials (e.g. a music track or video clip) in their video since it would be protected under their "fair use" practice for personal use. I am merely providing the service of constructing the video for them and selling those services to them, not the copyrighted materials.

    Your feedback is appreciated.

    i don't know a whole lot about this

    but it is my understanding

    that most things cannot be copied or reproduced in anyway.

    or something like that.

    i could be wrong

    actually, it depends on what describes "personal use". going to watch it at home? np. going to show it along with a porn movie at the local elks lodge? not.
