Using downloaded photos/videos without license in video posted on Youtube?

[StanWelks]

Anyone know if the license will allow photos and clips that have the watermark on them to be used in a video for a client when not holding the license? The idea is to use the media as part of a video to show the client, and if they like it, to then purchase the license. The video will be posted to youtube with a private link.

Thanks

The aim of the watermarked assets is to show the customer, how the stock assets will be used and to get approval from the customer before acquiring paid licences. How you share the work is not relevant, as long as it is not a public exchange site. However, the assets you use are not without a licence, but there is a specific licence granted to you for this use. I recommend that you read the licensing terms.

(Disclaimer: As always with licensing, this is my interpretation of the rules. I think they are correct and advice is based on reading and interpreting the licence terms and on fair use for both the buyer and the artist/stock company, but I cannot rule out that my interpretation is wrong.
