According to the forum post I linked to earlier, it was $20,000 for the Krishnamurti footage, unless he gave a different number elsewhere:

I found this statement at the Zeitgeist site: http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/sources.htm</p>

"Some footage in this educational film is unauthorized and has been respectfully borrowed in accordance with the Fair Use Doctrine of U.S. Copyright Code Section 107"

So which footage was used for free, and what was paid for? I would have thought that the George Carlin and Bill Hicks stuff would cost more than Krishnamurti footage from a PBS station, but he didn't mention those.

I found a site that has a lot of information on fair use: http://www.centerforsocialmedia.org/resources/fair_use</p>

This kind of sums it up:

"In reviewing the history of fair use litigation, we find that judges return again and again to two key questions:

-Did the unlicensed use "transform" the material taken from the copyrighted work by using it for a different purpose than that of the original, or did it just repeat the work for the same intent and value as the original?
-Was the material taken appropriate in kind and amount, considering the nature of the copyrighted work and of the use?

Both questions touch on, among other things, the question of whether the use will cause excessive economic harm to the copyright owner.

If the answers to these two questions are "yes," a court is likely to find a use fair. Because that is true, such a use is unlikely to be challenged in the first place."

LOL.

Additionally, I think that Alex Jones' language in this video ("he now has the rights to use my footage") confirms he made a buck out of PJ.
