> RED Cameras are good and widely used, iirc - probably worth giving them the benefit of the doubt as they’ll not want to damage their reputation and profits by abusing their T&Cs. This is an appeal to authority, a logical fallacy. That particular niche of users has likely never brought it up to people attention. EULA are rarely brought up at all, and when they are its just in some software within tech circles because tech sector enthusiasts like to review. It doesn't matter that high powered hollywood execs and prosumer gearheads have used it and ignored it. It is very valid to assume it simply never has been challenged. The question "is it legal" not "will it hurt me" not "will it hurt them".

>This is an appeal to authority, a logical fallacy Fallacy fallacy. The appeal to authority fallacy would be to claim it's ok for them to do it because they're the best. The OP did not write that. The OP wrote that on the spectrum of how to be worried, since this vendor has a track record of good behavior, and since the EULA pieces are pretty reasonable for the vendor to manage the software (which most film makers likely don't care to manage), that it's more likely that this will not be the issue that some make it out to be. Stop making everything a (false) fallacy claim and simply address the discussion.

  I don't think that's a fallacy fallacy. Fallacy fallacy is when there really is a fallacy in a person's argument, and that fact is used to reason that the argument's conclusion is false.

    I think it is a "bike shed" fallacy - where you dive deep into figuring out what kind of a fallacy it actually is and get totally distracted from the original conversation.
