[M4IF Discuss] the remuneration fees

[Jordan Greenhall]

What if I am delivering movie trailers gratis from my website for free,
but have banners on the site?  What if I don't have any form of
advertising, but the site is used to sell my hardware and I am driving
traffic by virtue of the movie trailers?  What if I specifically decided
to deliver the trailers because of a financial analysis that doing so
would generate X revenue from hardware sales?
I presume that a line will be drawn somewhere, but shouldn't a standard
license agreement be easier to interpret than the DMCA?

I have questions about the remuneration fees.
Is it true that the fee for a one-time view (e.g. video on demand) is 
the same as for a purchase (e.g. a "video CD") which can be viewed 
many times?
If someone can watch something because they have a subscription (e.g. 
a premium ISP subscription which gives them access to premium 
content), is the ISP receiving remuneration?
Is an advertisement per se "remunerated"?  The advertiser certainly 
hopes to gain revenue.
