Fair Use of Video Clips of Me

[David4321]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California.

I had a short promotional video (5 minutes) made and posted on my website. It was professionally edited at my own expense, and contains a montage of sound bite clips of me talking from an hour long interview video that originally appeared on a cable show.

Now the interviewer has discovered my website, and is demanding that I have it re-edited to include at least 25% footage of the interviewer asking me questions, inclusion of the show credits segment, and other changes.

I have posted a credit with a link to her website, but she says this is not sufficient, and is threatening legal action.

Don't I have any fair use rights to use sound bites of my own speech for my promotion without the interviewer's creative control?

Thanks for any help.

I fail to see any "fair use" aspects of what you have done.
