Copyright: Using Apple Product in Online Video

by slynch1

So I wanted to create a video on my website talking about the different stickers on my MacBook Pro...discussing where they came from and such. A video to get to know me a bit for my videography website.

Since I'll be showing the Mac, do you think this would be under Fair Use?

Thanks

    Are you going to be profiting from the video? Will it be on YouTube with adsense enabled on it? I don't think you'd have issues if the video is just a little bio about some stickers, although you might want to put a piece of duct tape over any apple logos/text/signs. On the other hand, if this is a promo video for stickers you're selling on your website for profit and such then you could potentially have problems.

      This will be part of my video content on my website Lynch Videography. I shoot web videos but wanted to do a fun video for my website.

      I make money off my website but don't make money off this video, it's for my blog

        Copyright is not an issue with what you're suggesting.

        Trade mark or service mark infringement could be. Seek competent professional legal advice.

    I would think this would be ok (keep in mind I have no legal background or knowledge)
