Ebenezer wants to explore distributing his movie through Amazon Instant Video. To do this, he must create an account with CreateSpace. As soon as he creates his account, he receives marketing material from another filmmaker who got his name from the service. He thinks this might be a good idea for him to get the word out and asks you to figure out how to get a mailing list of all the other site users. You double check the agreement and find:

The agreement prohibits using the CreateSpace software and information about other participants for solicitations or advertising.

The agreement allows soliciting CreateSpace members as long as you don't use their software to do it.

Question 18 (look at the picture labeled picture 17-19)

If Eben shot his film guerilla-style without getting any copyright, trademark or right of publicity releases signed, would he be able to submit his film to Amazon Instant Video?

The agreement has him promising to pay CreateSpace and Amazon's legal expenses if they get sued, so they don't really care if he has the permissions or not.
