(I know many people have compiled and sold swipe files without asking for the ad makers permission. And there are quite a few websites that showcase video ads. And most advertisers shouldn't have any problem because you are after all giving them more ink. But would want to know if you have any knowledge about the issue...)

Ankesh,

My experience and this is in NO way legal advice, is

if you are simply using them as an example, MOST ad owners are OK with you showing them, where the problem comes in is when you use THEIR ad to sell something. Then the hammer comes down.

Send me an mail and I'll give you some more private details, OK?
