t.v. commercials?

[VANCHU, ANTHONY J. (JSC-AH) (TTI)]

I went to this website Erica Walker mentions--quite impressive.  I also
spoke with someone in their offices.  In order to view the ads, you have to
have a subscription.  You can also order individual ads burned onto a CD,
but one would need a subscription first in order to view the ads and know
what they contained.  FYI, the CD has a $25 set up charge with video ads
costing $20 each, audio ads $10 each.

I also did a Yandex search using "video reklama" and got a lot of hits, some
with useful materials, usually links to an ad agency's site.  These are
usually ads that the company showcases and they can be viewed for free on
the site.

Does anyone know if downloading them and using them for educational purposes
would be viewed as legally acceptable?

Thanks,
Tony Vanchu

Have you tried www.adforum.com?  I know they have international commercials
on that site, although you may have to subscribe to a membership to obtain
copies of them.  Either way, it's a place to start.
