: I was just wondering if it was ok if I took some images from the View Askew movies and put them on my fan site that I'm creating.
First off, Kevin doesn't own the films, so in the big scheme, it's not his call. Now, the general rule on this kind of thing goes something like this: as long as nobody is making any money off of using the images and you're not defaming anybody in the process, you're probably safe. Of course, if the owners of the films (Miramax, Gramercy) REALLY wanted to sue, they could, but it's pretty unlikely. Go ahead and give it a go; the worst that would happen is that they make you take down the images, which if I may be frank, is not going to happen.
Always,
