If you didn't sign a contract beforehand, and if you were taking this pictures as part of your employment, then it's likely that your use falls under work-for-hire and therefore the company would own the pictures you took. The lack of a contract means... Read more...

On the one hand, if it's a very small clip and it's audio only, that seems like a "fair use" situation. On the other hand, it is Hollywood and they can be strict copyright interpreters. (Also, if the clip appears to be an... Read more...

If the DVDs are unlawfully made, then you should not resale.
If you believe that the DVDs are legit, then you can sell them as a matter of first sale.

You also have to be very, very careful that the medium (tapes) are marked FOR ARCHIVAL USE ONLY and not to be copied or sold. To distribute further or commercially would mean that they would need releases from all actors involved.

I'd be wary, sadly. Licensing will be difficult. AFAIK, unlike songs themselves, there is no central body that licenses lyrics and there isn't an easy way to track them down. The copyright issues come in because you're distributing lines of a song. You'd... Read more...

If they're lawfully made copies- assuming that the director had the right to make them in the first place- then I believe you can add them to your collection, via the doctrine of first sale (section 109). If anyone disagrees, please post. ^_^
