So, is the music in the promo piece here not copyrighted by Nico or VU or someone? I suppose the rights to use this can be proven? I only mention this as the constraints on us who would like to make a piece for this that we are forbidden (rightfully so) from using copyrighted Warhol imagery is tough to get around.
Just curious. Nothing bugs me more than to hear copyrighted music when I try very hard not to use any in my pieces without written permissions. Hope you got it. Pretty sure you do but I wonder…

i imagine the restriction is on the actual contest because the commercial will be on T.V.
