using internet explorer in films - legalities?

[joko]

Hi,
We have a scene where an inbox is filling with mail, onscreen and were planning to use IE, and just wondered whether we would need clearance for this?

and do you know who to contact? cant seem to find any contact details for this kind of issue.

thanks
i have put this in law as well

Watch almost any film that actually features a PC (as Apple seem to have some top product placement people - you'll see Macs in all sorts of unlikely places) and most on screen shots will not be of anything by Microsoft. I don't know if it just an urban myth, but the it is rumoured that MS have pretty steep licensing fees.

I'd imagine that Mozilla would be pretty happy to get some free publicity, if you use Firefox instead of IE.

Why not contact their media or press department.

They will put you in contact with the correct people.
