If I were in the same position, I'd have made a $5 donation to the Red Cross and posted a footnote saying, "A donation was made to the Red Cross on behalf of all the artists ripped off in the making of this video."

Not that they'd all be appeased, but it'd be awfully hard for an artist to cause you grief when you cite their work as having fed a starving child in Burundi.

I agree with Pud, bring back the old net when we could laugh for free.
