LA Rams Highlight

The piece of media I searched using Creative Commons Search Engine is a L.A. Rams highlight package from 1984. This package directly relates to the Rams today because it provides history of the program, in which showing that they started their organization originally in L.A. Unfortunately, the video is in bad condition, but I personally think that its age gives it a more authentic appeal to interested viewers because it shows the time frame. The package highlights to pride of the LA Rams at the time, and how they felt about the organization, even after falling short of a Superbowl for the second straight year. Not to mention, Eric Dickerson, one of the greatest Rams of all time, is a huge focal point in this video. I highly recommend that football history fans to take a look:

Reasons why this video is okay to use:

  1. Purpose: This video is used for educational purposes, research, and most obviously, news reporting.
  2. Nature: The highlight package is published and factual information is provided about the 1984 Rams football organization.
  3. Amount: The highlight is approximately 20 minutes long; however, this length is appropriate for the educational purpose I am using it for on this site.
  4. Effect: My use of this video has no significant effect on the market, or potential market, that would call for copyright works.

    This video is gives a nice little touch and brings your viewers back to 1984 when the Rams were in California. I found the way you listed your credentials and ‘why this video is ok to use’ very strong.
