Not only music.
I have a lovely Odalisque in front of a green screen just screaming for a nice shot of perhaps an Arabian slave quarters (hmmm) or desert oasis.
I have been looking around for images to use in the commercial areas.
It appears that it would be cheaper for me to fly to Egypt or Oman to shoot something rather than to buy a "limited artistic" use of an image for background use in creating a composite.
I am still looking around flickr for an amateur who might have something and be willing in collaboration, but until then, I guess I will just be forced to use what I have lying around.
I once worked in broadcasting and found to my horror that playing 45 rpm records at the high school dances (ok, just dated myself) was in the minds of the record companies a rights violation. There is something called the fair use doctrine, which allows the use of excerpts and certain things for personal use. The issue is partially, I think, what one defines as personal use these days. If were are listening to some music sitting around the fireplace in my home, I presume that it would fit into the relm of fair use, but when my friends are all sitting in front of computer screens it becomes a violation. Something is not really right here.
