Followed up and wrote a full explanation: http://www.forbes.com/sites/sarahjeong/2015/04/17/the-news-medias-use-of-the-walter-scott-video-is-surprise-a-newsworthy-use/ … Bonus: I talked to actual copyright scholars
-
"Even the Poynter Institute, which should know better, ran with a headline saying that the 'media must pay' to continue using the video."

Pro tip: when you're looking for an expert opinion on fair use that, uh, reflects actual US law, don't go to the Copyright Clearance Center

@sarahjeong Am I misreading this or does it sound like maybe this guy should get a new lawyer? -
@sorrykb well, obviously we don't know much about what's going on here, but it doesn't feel right

@sarahjeong this seems like a really, really bad idea. Seems like a barrier to the media's responsibility to inform us. -
@patrickhealyid it's also an incorrect statement regarding the law -
@sarahjeong I would hope so. -
@patrickhealyid yeah, copyright law isn't great, but it's not *this* bad

This is embarrassingly wrong on fair use and
@nytimes should know better. https://twitter.com/sarahjeong/status/588891569253646336 … Cc:@Sulliview HT@sarahjeong

@alisternburg "fair use" clauses... jesus -
1/ I agree w/
@sarahjeong &@alisternburg that this@nytimes piece is not very accurate from a ©#fairuse perspectivehttp://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/17/us/fee-to-be-charged-for-video-of-south-carolina-shooting-publicist-says.html?ref=us … -
2/ An expert might have pointed 2 similar cases: LA News Servs’ largely unsuccessful litig regarding use of video of Reginald Denny beating.
-
3/ e.g., LANS lost vs fair use arguments about news, but won against commercial users... see, e.g.,http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-9th-circuit/1161050.html …
-
4/ & def in Zapruder tapes litig also prevailed on © fair uses, * years * after vid of Kennedy assass’n made; see Time v. Bernard Geis
-
5/ How does the passage of time argument apply to that?
-
6/ Asking a licensor like
@copyrightclear if a license is needed is like asking a Realtor™ if now is a good time to buy or sell a house. - 6 réponses de plus
