What's fun about the law system is that each case is open to interpretation, because of its particular circumstances. If, for example, you trade emails with the film crew saying you couldn't get permission to shoot but was going stealth anyway, and you use the mall as a location this week and in a couple days you send funding requests using only this particular movie, and the mall has a central role (as in Mallrats), then yes, you're using the mall as part of a (soon to be) commercial venture. But if your mall movie was filmed 5 years ago (and now the mall went through a reform), was just a gathering place because the actress lives 5 minutes away from it, and the movie using it is just part of your portfolio of dozen, than I don't think any law system would judge against you. The law is not a tech spec. Finding the balance between the two extreme examples above is the whole purpose of a government branch :) Edit: The mall case would probably pend to a trademark side, but the point remains. Law is hard, let's go shopping! (just not on the same mall as the movie)
