Comment on Long Form Editing Part 1 by amanda determan

Shawn — Congratulations on the Emmy! That really is a great, deserving piece. Thank you so much for sharing the story of how you went about organizing your edit — not to mention all the other great advice to be found on this blog.
I do have a question, though, on your last comment about deciding to use some snippets of music from the Erin Brockovich soundtrack. I’m in the end stages of producing a documentary for the newspaper I work for, with the goal of submitting it to a local film festival (but probably no further distribution beyond the community), and music is something I’ve been agonizing over. I’ve been poring over Fair Use guidelines and the Documentary Filmmakers’ Best Practices statement, and I believe my use of the music I’ve chosen for my film would fall under Fair Use. However, many of the sources I’ve queried have said they felt it was better to be safe than sorry, and chosen to strip any copyrighted works from their film.
So my question for you is, how did you go about deciding to use the Erin Brockovich music? Have you been challenged at all?
Thank you for the post, and for any advice you might have,
Amanda
