You may not want to hear this but you probably shouldn't make an amv of the movie. The last bit you read about them allowing some content without expressed permission is for works meant to promote (positively) or educate someone about their products. An AMV doesn't do that because of the music used. The music may not be what they want to associate with their product and therefore you do not have permission.

a amv is kinda like a parody video :D i have the right to use the content #fairuse
Except I'm pretty sure Fair Use is a case by case situation. I think I read that the originator of the content can ultimately make the call as to whether or not it's fair use. In the end, it seems it'll be taken down but will only be a matter of "when". Why not focus your creative energy toward something else that won't just disappear one day ? ;)

Do what you will, just know that the producers of Royals and Nintendo are two completely different giants. ;)

Oh please don't spread that legal advice. The originator of the content has ZERO impact on what constitutes fair use.

Eh, it was something I thought I read while researching fair use when I wanted to use something in a video. I just poked around again and didn't find that anywhere, so I promise that blurb dies here. ;)
