Can I use

[Fahim Huq]

I am thinking about a project where i might need to use a lot of clips from local or national News. I don't care about their quality and therefore was thinking about recording right off my TV.

 

i will submit those projects to a pretty well-known video site.

will i be in trouble??

is there any alternate way?

what's the 'real way'(ex:if comedy central uses CNN footage,what do they do??)

 

if this isn't the appropriate place for this question,i apologize.

I believe you have to contact the network directly, and get permission from them. That is, if the finished product is going on a public web site. If you end up just using it in your home for personal use and no one will see it except you, you can record anything you want from anywhere.
