Hello,
I work for a publishing company that would like to create a bracket based voting campaign around the best "engineering" movie. Our site operates in the US but has a global audience. We make a profit on our sites through advertisements and sponsored content.
In our bracket campaign, we would like to include 1 image of the movie cover or a still shot so that users can identify with the movie visually. From what I have gathered it seems that doing so would be illegal without permission from each movie rights owner.
What about if we did not use any images or media from the movie and instead included the name to vote on only? A brief description of how the movie qualifies for our specific voting would also be included. We plan to provide links back to the movie websites and to the IMDb profiles.
Thank you
