It was a fair use. In addition to bits and pieces from our ball, the video was a montage of scenes and graphics from our protests across the nation and a fictional parody put together by lazamataz. The music was simply background for part of it. If anything it was a transformative parody and the usage of any copyrighted material was incidental and complies with fair use. Examine the factors of fair use. It was noncommercial. The Ball was not exactly a 10 week 50 city tour. It was a once in a lifetime private party. The video was a parody. The videos were not sold on any commercial market. They were mementos or souvenirs and have no commercial value. The proceeds were donated to Free Republic to help offset the costs of the ball. No commercial markets for the music in question were exploited. The gross proceeds from the video was approximately $5,000. There is nothing commercial about this. Forget about it. Z2 is chasing moonbeams.
