Hi Rick, That is very helpful. On Public events such as the State of the Union, or Senate Hearing, if it airs on CSPAN it is OK even if 30 minutes, but if it is CNN's camera we could not show the full ...

Hi Patrick, I made a video of an acoustic cover we did of the song "pumped up kicks" by foster the people. We use a majority of the music video, but none of the original audio. Because we are not a real ...
