Hi Von- you are exactly right. As long as it is not for commercial 
purposes (in an ad or something.)

And when I say commercial, that does not count promos.....if a radio or TV 
station wants to use a 30 second clip of a Zep song to promote something, 
that is OK. However if that radio or TV station was advertising on another 
radio or TV station they would not.

A local TV station here, for example, uses the lick from Billy Squire's 
"Everybody Wants You" with all of their promos....although it sounds like 
a cheezy karaoke version.

In a world where both of our cars were totally under water,
