Just after a little input,

As part of a presentation we're looking to do, we want to include a 5 min portion of a larger BBC online Webcast.. happy to credit this to the BBC, not trying to pass it off as our own work (infact it's better for us that it's seen to be the BBC as it adds more weight to the presentation).

What sort of legal wrangles am I going to run in to here, Obviously I'll attempt to get permission from the Beeb to use this, but I'm not hopeful of a speeds turn around from them.. are there any other options?

I've seen people showing copyrighted items (dvds etc) by recording it playing on a TV, then showing the recording of the showing.. how legitimate is this?

I hope the Beeb will simply allow us to use this little excerpt from their Click show, but want to know what options are available also.

Cheers.

Jamie,

BBCclick have a very active profile on Twitter. You might get a quick answer via that rather than the usual channels.
