Blane,
I don't think anyone (attorney or otherwise) can tell you with certainty if
something will be ruled 'fair use' if a copyright owner contests it.
With that said, I think what you describe (particularly as a one time event)
is a fair use.
I believe it should be and the only way to 'make it so' is to do it.
We have made a documentary on this particular aspect of copyright law that
does virtually the same thing with samples to illustrate our points and will
also be showing it at the ALA.

Just a note. When you loose a civil copyright lawsuit you are not
necessarily 'violating the law', you have lost an argument in a court.
And another. The PPR for the films does not really cover your sampling. It
is all 'fair use' or it isn't.

Subject: [Videolib] Copyright/Fair Use/PPR AGAIN
Hi all,
I don't post here much (never, until now). This recent discussion on
copyright has been quite eye-opening for me. But I have a question which I
do not think has been yet addressed; here is the premise: I and two
colleagues will be presenting at ALA Orlando in June a program entitled
'Booktalking With Pizzazz' where we will be using brief video clips (all
less than three minutes, most less than one minute) and a couple of music
clips (less than 30 seconds). Most of the videos used were purchased with
PPR, a few were not. My question is, based on copyright and 'fair use',
would we be violating the law using those clips (audio or video) without
PPR?
Thanks,
Blane Halliday
