Certainly.  On http://www.david-strathairn.com/media/film3.html there are several WMV files taken from HBO specials.  Those belong to and are copyright from HBO, and I see no "used by permission" there.  I see a note that says "No copyright infringements intended.", but that doesn't say that it's NOT a copyright infringement - just becaus ethey say they didn't mean to doesn't mean it didn't happen. On the same page there are also copies of featurettes from commercially available DVDs.  These, too, will be copyrighted. One http://www.david-strathairn.com/media/tv3.html we have whole scenes taken from the HBO show "The Sopranos" - those are copyright HBO, too and again, I don't see a "used with permission" anywhere. On http://www.david-strathairn.com/media/radio.html there are all sorts of excerpts from radio shows, which are owned by the respective stations.  I see no permission given there either.  There is not doubt that all of these clips are copyrighted by the original owners.  there is no evidence that they are posted with the owner's permission.  Therefore this it is a reasonable conclusion that this is a copyright violation, barring evidence to the contrary.    | Talk
