[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, that’s wild. I used to do copyright clearance work. The film’s producers should’ve cleared any copyright issues, including securing copyright releases from video owners. You could reach out to the film’s producers / production company and ask if they got clearance and from whom.

Are you saying your family member took the video and they aren’t sure how the video ended up in someone else’s hands?  Like maybe the camcorder was donated and the video was inadvertently donated as well?

Or are you saying an unknown person took a video of your family member and your family member was unaware they were being recorded?[/quote]

Wanna rep someone?  lol.  Help.  My relative said they remain in possession of the camcorder video and they have no idea how someone obtained it.  They took the video of themselves, maybe 20 years ago I'm guessing.  But, they just told me they "digitized" it a few years ago. . asking them now if they mean brought it to a store. . Can they legally sell stuff they digitize?

You think SOL a problem - in Cali?  And what could a settlement be like for a film that grossed lower 8 figures for using a short clip?

Wild, isn't it, friend tells you that you're in a movie.[/quote]
